delete is for hash tables, not for arrays. To delete elements from an array, use the splice function:

Code

my $idx = 5; 
my @ary = (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9); 
splice @ary, $idx, 1; 
# now, @ary is (0,1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9)

Thanx man it's workes great but why there is a 1; in the end? why not just ;?
is it another why of writing it :
splice @ary, $idx;
?

the reason why you need the 1 at the end is the length.

splice syntax:
splice(array, skipelements, length);

length is the number of elements to re replaced.

this should help you understand why.
