Hey Monks,

I am trying to find out if there is another way to remove an element from an array. I am playing around with a script to deal a hand of poker and I found tachyon's post showing how to do this and it works well, but my script doesn't always know how many cards each player will take.

@cards has all the cards in a deck.

$hand11 = $cards[rand(@cards)];
@cards1 = grep{$_ ne $hand11}@cards;
$hand12 = $cards1[rand(@cards1)];
@cards2 = grep{$_ ne $hand12}@cards1;

Thanks,
