in reply to Deleting elements from array questions

If you want to remove the elements from the array entirely, grep is the way:

@array = grep { $_ ne $item } @array;

That eliminates fencepost errors and leaves no empty slots in the array. Your code should work, but it does not remove the array slot.

    Well, grep is one way (and probably the one that will work best for the original question.) But splice is also a perfectly good way to remove elements from an array.
