Hi monks,

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to remove a value from an array if I only know the value and not the index?
Basically I want to:
if ( grep $term =~ /^(.*)$term(.*)$/, @terms ) {
#remove the value that $term matched from the array
} # end-if

Cheers,

Update
As pointed out by conrad i did indead mean: 
$_ =~ /^(.*)$term(.*)$/

Thanks conrad :)

the inclusion of the (.*) in the regex was just to demostrate that it wasnt just going to be a regex of /$term/. I guess i should have use a more complex regex...
