in thread removing an element without index

That is a little more succinct as:

my @data = (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10);

@data = grep {! m/4/} @data; # Remove elements containing the digit 4

    This would be as succinct, more accurate, and a bit faster: 

    @data = grep $_ ne '4', @data; # Remove elements equal to '4'

      It's not equivalent, though. I don't know if it would suit Levex's requirements or not, but it would give different results than the parent post if 14 or "BA4" were in the list of data.

        Deliberately so. Hence "more accurate". I see nothing in the OPs post suggesting he wanted to remove multiple similar items; just one item.
