Hi All,

The solution to my question is probably dead easy, but the bioperl module I'm working on right now
has sucked up all by brain juice! ;-)

Let's say I have this array:

@food = qw(milk ham eggs bread eggs milk);

How can I write a script that sticks all UNIQUE elements (occurs only once) into another array?
So, in the above case, @another_array would receive "ham" and "bread"

Many thanks for your time, Everybody!
