assuming size isn't an issue, I've figured out how to put the each
"criticalpart" into a list,
(don't see how a hash will work, as it's a single list of items,
"criticalpart").
how do I search the list to see if "criticalpart" is already in the list?
would it be possible to do:
if (@criticalpartlist =~ m/criticalpart/)
{
don't save;
}
else
{
do save;
}
