Search through array of hashrefs and store matching

sotona has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,

I have an array e.g.

my @array = (
     {x => 1,
      y => 2,
      z => 3},
     {x => 4,
      y => 5,
      z => 6},
   #etc
);

I can search through it:

grep {$_->{x} == 4 } @array;
[download]

but how do I store the entire hash with matching key?

UPD:Please delete this question. I was too tired to use my brain :-)

my @newarray = grep {$_->{x} == 4 } @array;
