Splicing an array from an array of arrays (a 2-D array) is no different than splicing an element from an array of scalars (a 1-D array). That's because an AoA is really just an array of array references, and references are stored as scalars. For example: 

use strict;
use warnings;

use Data::Dumper;

my @aoa = ( [ qw( CR 161508 111847 151085 190251 ) ],
            [ qw( CR 161509 111847 190251 190252 ) ],
            [ qw( CR 161510 111847 190252 190150 ) ],
            [ qw( CR 161511 111847 190150 190153 ) ] );

print "orig aoa: @aoa\n";
print Dumper( \@aoa ), "\n";

my @spliced = splice( @aoa, 1, 1 );

print "spliced aoa: @aoa\n";
print Dumper( \@aoa ), "\n";

print "spliced: @spliced\n";
print Dumper( \@spliced ), "\n";

The output from this code is as follows:
