How do I remove an element from an array?

If you want to remove the element by its positon in the array, use the 
splice function. Example:
@someArray = splice(@someArray, 1);  # will remove the 1st element
# Example of removing a particular element in the array:
@foo = (1,2,3,4,5);
$arrayposition = 0;
foreach $i (@foo) {
        $i == 2 && splice(@foo,$arrayposition,1);
        ++$arrayposition;
}
