You used it wrong, but I see I used the wrong prototype, and my "if $keep" disappeared. 

use strict;
use warnings;

sub grep_in_place(&\@) {
   my ($cb, $array) = @_;
   my $src = -1;
   my $dst = -1;
   while (++$src < @$array) {
      my $keep;
      $keep = $cb->() for $array->[$src];
      $array->[++$dst] = $array->[$src] if $keep;
   }
   $#$array = $dst;
}

my @a = (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8);
print("Before: @a\n");
grep_in_place { $_ > 4 } @a;
print("After:  @a\n");

To get your (and probably the OP's) semantics: 

sub grep_and_remove(&\@) {
   my ($cb, $array) = @_;
   my $src = -1;
   my $dst = -1;
   my @deleted;
   while (++$src < @$array) {
      my $keep;
      $keep = $cb->() for $array->[$src];
      ($keep
         ? $deleted[@deleted]
         : $array->[++$dst]
      ) = $array->[$src];
   }
   $#$array = $dst;
   return @deleted;
}

my @a = (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8);
print("Before:   @a\n");
my @b = grep_and_remove { $_ > 4 } @a;
print("After:    @a\n");
print("Returned: @b\n");

No crazy splice!
