PERL Remove array element

Deleting value from an array is easy if you know the element/index but if you only got the element/index value and not sure of it's location, you'll need a few more lines to do this. Here's a code snippet you can use if you need to delete an element to your array, given that you only know the element value.

---------------------
      my $index;
                foreach(0..$#array_list){
                        if ($array_list[$_] =~ /^$element_value/) {
                                $index = $_;
                        }
                }
                splice @array_list, $index, 1;

---------------------

This can used as a sub within your code and will require two arguments (@array_list --> the array where you need to delete something and $element_value --> the value you want to delete from you array)
