I could be wrong about this, very wrong considering the other answers to your post but here it is anyway. The delete function should take care of this for you. Here is an example: 
delete $array[$index];

[download]
or 
delete $array[$index][$index2];

[download]
This should remove the specified element from the array. If this is incorrect, I'm sorry for the confusion and would appreciate it if someone could explain why delete won't work for this.

Update:
According to the camel book, starting with perl version 5.6, this function will work for arrays whereas in previous versions it only worked with hashes. It also says: Deleting from an array causes the element at the specified position to revert to a completely uninitialized state, but it doesn't close up the gap. Is this the reason that delete shouldn't be used and if so what are the specific pitfalls in this?
