4.64: How can I get the unique keys from two hashes?

First you extract the keys from the hashes into lists, then solve the
"removing duplicates" problem described above. For example:

%seen = ();
for $element (keys(%foo), keys(%bar)) {
$seen++;
}
@uniq = keys %seen;

Or more succinctly:

@uniq = keys %};

Or if you really want to save space:

%seen = ();
while (defined ($key = each %foo)) {
$seen++;
}
while (defined ($key = each %bar)) {
$seen++;
}
@uniq = keys %seen;

The perlfaq-workers, a group of volunteers, maintain the perlfaq. They
are not necessarily experts in every domain where Perl might show up,
so please include as much information as possible and relevant in any
corrections. The perlfaq-workers also don't have access to every
operating system or platform, so please include relevant details for
corrections to examples that do not work on particular platforms.
Working code is greatly appreciated.
