Check the documentation for 'delete' and 'splice'. You'll
find that delete works on hashes, splice works on arrays.

Array is correct. You can't delete elements from a list.

I'm not sure if you're serious, joking, or trying to subtly provide an
alternative solution. Whichever way you've gone, you

looks like you're using [] instead of {} ... PHP instead of PERL maybe ??
%myList = ("1","a","2","b");

Hello,
I need to delete an element from a list (array). The delete function does

the list "myList", then the code
delete ($myList[$i]);

What is the alternative?
