the answer

I made it Smilie

here is what worked for me:

perl -e 'print reverse <>' logfile|uniq -w 50|perl -e 'print reverse <>' >logfile.done

so first, the logfile is inverted (by lines) then the dupes are removed and finaly we do an invert again.

The inversion is needed in order to have the first of a duplicate line pair removed.

Thanks to your contributions folks. This pointed me into the right direction.

NAME
log, log2, log10, log1p, -- logarithm functions SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double log(double x); double log2(double x); double log10(double x); double log1p(double x); DESCRIPTION
The log() function computes the value of the natural logarithm of argument x. The log2() function computes the value of the logarithm of argument x to base 2. The log10() function computes the value of the logarithm of argument x to base 10. The log1p() function computes the value of log(1+x) accurately even for very small values of x. SPECIAL VALUES
log(+-0) , log2(+-0) , and log10(+-0) return -infinity and raise the "divide-by-zero" floating-point exception. log(1) , log2(1) , and log10(1) return +0. log(x) , log2(x) , and log10(x) return a NaN and raise the "invalid" floating-point exception for x < 0. log(+infinity) , log2(+infinity) , and log10(+infinity) return +infinity. log1p(+-0) returns +-0. log1p(-1) returns -infinity and raises the "divide-by-zero" floating-point exception. log1p(x) returns a NaN and raises the "invalid" floating-point exception for x < -1. log1p(+infinity) returns +infinity. SEE ALSO
math(3), exp(3), exp2(3), expm1(3), pow(3), infnan(3) STANDARDS
The log() , log2() , log10() , and log1p() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999(E). 4th Berkeley Distribution July 2, 2003 4th Berkeley Distribution
