I'm trying to do something pretty simple, but can't get it to work. I have an array. I want to ask the user if they want to remove an element. If they do, it will delete the element from the array and rebuild the array.

So for instance, if I have the following:

@array = qw(a b c);

And the user enters "b", the array would become:

@array = qw(a c);

Grep doesn't seem too fond of feeding it variables though. Anyways, here's my code:

@priority = qw(RB1 RB2 FL1 FL2 QB1 QB2 TE1 WR1 WR2 DST);
$continue = 'Y';
while($continue == 'Y')
{
@mypri = grep(!/ $position /, @priority);
print "Random position iterations in order of priority: \n";
foreach (@mypri)
{
print "$_\n";
}
print "Do you wish to lock another player position? Enter 'Y' to add a
+nother player or press Enter to continue";
$continue = <>;
}
