It's about 1800 words, or a little more than doubled in length, I'd say 
yes, that's long enough.

I don't remember it as being my solution, but:

#!perl -nl
print unless $s{$_}++

was the ultimate form the script took.  The Unix uniq1() utility in one 
line of Perl!

I'll have to check the archive, but the path to get to that point was (in 
my mind at least) not trivial.
