know how to remove duplicates in a list of strings?

Common questions are grouped together, along with answers, in
a document called a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).

It is considered good manners to check the FAQ *before* posting
to the newsgroup.

perldoc -q duplicate

"How can I remove duplicate elements from a list or array?"

Except that he might want to spell that "duplicate".

Like the denizens of comp.lang.perl.misc, computers
are notoriously picky about spelling things properly.
