Goodness, there are so many ways of doing that sort of thing in Perl…

#!perl

use strict;

use warnings;

my @array;

@array = <DATA>;

print (grep { !/^DontPrintMe$/} @array);

__DATA__
print me!
no, print me!
DontPrintMe
Look out for open manholes
Do print me!

Incidentally, Perl is Turing-complete, as are quite a few other programming languages. Stating that Perl is "almost as powerfull[sic] as C++" is, first, incorrect, and, second, could be construed as insulting, as it seems to imply that "real programmers don't use Perl."
