I solved the problem before this node was approved, please reap.

Janitor note: Original content follows:

Greetings Fellow Monks,

I have an array, that is filled with a number of elements. For example:

my @array = qw(penny coin dutch);

[download]

And I want to delete the 'coin' entry, while only having the 'coin' value(not the index number of that element within the array). Does anyone know how exactly I'd do this?


Thanks,
