It's more efficient (though it takes more memory) to use a hash:

        my %y;
        
        # to add a value $x and make sure that it's unique:
        $y{ $x } = undef;

Then you can get the contents of the array:

        my @array = keys( %y );

To delete a value:

        delete( $y{ $x } );
