How? If the array (@a) has duplicate values, hash will eliminate that.

    Noticed the ++ in !$seen{$_}++?

    perl -MData::Dumper -e '@a=(1, 2, 1, 2, 3); my @result = grep { !$seen
+{$_}++ } @a; print Dumper(\%seen);'

$VAR1 = {
          '1' => 2,
          '3' => 1,
          '2' => 2
        };

    The ++ is evaluated for every item in @a, grep only checks its return value and picks (or not picks) the element based on that value.

    $seen{4} = 3 means that 4 has been seen 3 times.
    Unless I state otherwise, all my code runs with strict and warnings
