Since you didn't tell me the name of your top hash, I'm calling it %UNNAMED_TOP_THINGY in the following code:

@$_ = grep {not $_->{type} eq "warning"} @$_ for $UNNAMED_TOP_THINGY{l
+ist}{find};

I also don't know from your example whether you want to (a) remove all "warning" (which is my code) or (b) keep all "error". It would be better if you had a better example, or a text description of what you had wanted.

I mean, based on your example, this would also have worked:

%UNNAMED_TOP_THINGY = (
'list' =>          {                   
                        'find' =>       [
                                           {
                                             'type' => 'error',
                                             'column' => '106',
                                          }
                                         ]
                  }
);

But I doubt that would have satisfied you. {grin}

update: Aha... see, I would have never thought that you wanted items with column = 1 removed. OK, here's that:

@$_ = grep {not $_->{column} == 1} @$_ for $UNNAMED_TOP_THINGY{list}{f
+ind};
