Please see "perldoc -q duplicate":
"How can I remove duplicate elements from a list or array?"

If you want case-insensitive then just define your own normal form, all
lower case of all upper case usually is the easiest.

Put you elements into hash (using array elemet as a hash key) and before
putting it call uc() or lc(). When it is done, (keys %hash) will be
the desired array.
