Is there any command to sort an array uniquelly,something similar to
"sort -u" in unix.

Not built-in, but it's fairly easy to implement:

JFYI, it's also in List::MoreUtils as 'uniq'.

http://search.cpan.org/dist/List-MoreUtils/lib/List/MoreUtils.pm

Huh, so it is. For some reason, I'd forgotten about that. So my
short example gets even further reduced to:
$ perl -MList::MoreUtils=uniq -le'
my @unsorted_with_dups = qw/d a e c b e d a c b e a b c e d/;
my @sorted_uniques = sort(uniq(@unsorted_with_dups));
print "@sorted_uniques\n";
'
a b c d e

Thanks for the reminder,
