in reply to MongoDB removing document

Looking through the documentation, you seem to want to look at MongoDB::Collection instead of blindly calling methods on things that aren't objects.

    just to be clear.. I'm stuck. I did look at that page but haven't been able to find out how to get to a solution by implementing a 'filter expression'.

      I haven't done any work with MongoDB, but I assume from the following:

      # delete a document
$coll->delete_one( { name => "John Doe" } );

      ... that you can delete a single document given its ID by using:

      $coll->delete_one( $doc );
# or maybe
$coll->delete_one( { _id => $doc->{_id} } );

        Thank you very much for getting back.

        Now I see what you typed it is hard to imagine why I didn't see my mistake in not having $coll as s startpoint to change the collection.

        Happy I can proceed.
