[Bioperl-l] parse columns file

[Frank Schwach]

Hi Jordi,

you will want to use a *hash* to store your IDs if you want to make them
non-redundant. This is not BioPerl related - it's more of a basic Perl
question. My recommendation would be to get the excellent "Beginning
Perl for Bioinformatics" book from O'Reilly and also check out the
general-Perl sites and forums, such as perlmonks.com. You can also just
google for Perl hashes and see if it makes sense to you and try to work
it into the example script you found already. Good luck!!

Frank
