You could always put them into a hash and then put them into an array later.
foreach(@names){
$hash{$_} = 1;
}
my @array = keys %hash;

Subject: Array question
Hi,
I have a datafile with a list of names like
Ana
John
Mike
Tracy
John
Luke
...
etc.
I don't know how long the list is and eventually in the list some of the
names will repeat. I want to put these names in an array but I don't want
to repeat any names in the array and I want to keep a count of how many
times the name appears in the list. Does anyone have any ideas or
suggestions? Thanks,
Allison
