Perl version of "sort -u -t'|' +1"...
------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
my %list;
my $line;
my @line;
while (<>) {
chomp;
$line = $_;
@line = split(/\|/, $line);
$list{$line[0]} = $line;
}
foreach $line (sort keys %list) {
print "$list{$line}\n";
}
------------------------------------------------
Hope this helps...

Data is not facts.
Facts are not knowledge.
Knowledge is not truth.
Truth is not wisdom.
Wisdom is neither eternal nor sufficient.
