Dereference the array reference and apply splice. 

my $position = 1;
splice @{$hash->{'TRAPS'}{'TRAP_LIST'}}, $position, 1;

    I think $hash->{'TRAPS'} is an array ref, so the above code won't work. I think broquaint had it right, by doing:

    my $position = 1;
splice @{$hash->{'TRAPS'}->{'TRAP_LIST'}}, $position, 1;

      Unless Zaxo modified his code without telling anyone, they're effectively the same thing. Second and subsequent dereferencing arrows are optional.
