I am trying to remove a hash from an array of hashes. I am generating my data structure like this. 
push @successarray, { 'hour' => $hour, 'begintime' => $dbfirsttime, 'd
+iff' => $diffstring, 'maxDD' => $maxDDL, 'maxDDTF' => $maxDDTF, 'time
+frames' => $timeframe, 'maxtpTF' => $timeframe, 'maxtp' => $maxtp, 'y
+dayopen' => $ydayopen, 'ydaydiff' => $ydaydiff};

I have tried the delete method. I realise its is deprectated. 
for $i ( 0 .. $#successarray )
{    if ($successarray[$i]->{'ydayopen'} > $fromopenmove)
     {
     delete $successarray[$i];
     }
}

this seems to work but leaves undefined 'gaps' in my arrays e.g 
{ hour=22 maxDDTF=2 maxtp=143 ydaydiff=182 ydayopen=-53 diff=-34 -14 -
+2 1 -11 maxtpTF=13 maxDD=29 timeframes=7 begintime=2010-05-27 22:30:0
+0 }
{ hour=14 maxDDTF=6 maxtp=42 ydaydiff=182 ydayopen=-71 diff=1 -43 -23 
+-13 maxtpTF=23 maxDD=34 timeframes=14 begintime=2010-05-28 14:00:00 }
{ }
{ }
{ }
{ }
{ hour=03 maxDDTF=1 maxtp=184 ydaydiff=124 ydayopen=-51 diff=2 1 -12 1
+ 4 -28 -16 maxtpTF=48 maxDD=1 timeframes=2 begintime=2010-06-15 03:00
+:00 }

I have played with the splice method a little, as this seems a more suitable function, but i cant for the life of me work out the syntax. can anyone please help point me in the right direction? thanks
