    Update: I didn't read your post carefully enough

    You get the result you want, but the semantic is not what you indicate by using exists so I'd rather use defined in that case. 

    #! perl
use warnings;
use strict;
my @x = (1,2,3,4,5);
delete $x[2];
for (0..4) { print $x[$_] }

    So, the element exists, but it's value is undefined.
