Hello Perl Monks,
	I'm sure one you see what I am doing you may be like "What in the BLEEP, are or doing or thinking".
	Well, this is why I am reaching out to the Monks, as i believe there has to be a better way to do this.
	
	I am trying to locate all the element in the @ARGV that were passed via command line and ONLY delete some of them.
	in the example, I want to delete --config and --enter
	
	Now this is only a snippet of the code
	
	The results I get are now expected, but there has to be a much simpler way

   > splice_tst.pl --debug --config --enter --config --config --enter 
+--help

use strict;

Splice_Array("--config");
Splice_Array("--enter");

sub Splice_Array {
    print "Before Array Splicing: \n";
    print "\t" . join(',', @ARGV), "\n";
    my $value=shift;
    print "Splicing Value: $value\n";
    my @matches = grep { $ARGV[$_] eq $value} 0..$#ARGV; # Just to Cou
+nt the number of times the variable was identified
    print "$value is located at index(s): " . join(',', @matches), "\n
+";
    for my $match (@matches) { # just used for a Max loop count
        my @index = grep { $ARGV[$_] eq $value} 0..$#ARGV;
        print "Index:$index[0]\n";
        splice @ARGV, $index[0] ,1;
    }
    print "After Array Splicing: \n";
    print "\t" . join(',', @ARGV), "\n\n\n";
}
