in thread Deleting an element from the middle of an array

It looks like delete was changed to act like undef when used on an array element (in Perl 5.6). I would guess this is just a bug. :(

delete() on arrays was actually added as support for pseudo-hashes. It's not a bug, it's just poor design. ;)

(That last bit is opinion, of course.)
