Greetings Monks!

I have a piece of code that looks something like: 
my @array;

foreach my $item (@array) {
     
    my $return = foo($item);
    if (!$return) {
         print "$item returned false\n";
         next;
    }

   other_stuff();
}

I'd like to remove $item from @array inside the  if (!$return) block.

I suppose I could do: 
my @array;
my @newarray;

foreach my $item (@array) {
     
    my $return = foo($item);
    if (!$return) {
         print "$item returned false\n";
         push @newarray, $item;
         next;
    }

   other_stuff();
}
@array = @newarray; # or whatever...

but that seems a waste, as I have to declare another array. Is there a simple way to remove a given $item from an @array?

Thanks!
