Yes, though I'm not sure I'd recommend it over the other solutions posted:

@statusoption = splice(@statusoption,
     (grep $statusoption[$_] eq $status, 0..$#statusoption)[0]);

Update: No need for splice when you just want a slice:

@statusoption = @statusoption[
(grep {$status eq $statusoption[$_]} 0..$#statusoption)[0]
..$#statusoption];
[download]

Update: But splice is better than reassignment:

splice(@statusoption, 0, (grep $status eq $statusoption[$_], 0..$#stat
+usoption)[0]);
[download]

Here's one that will short-circuit :-D:

splice(@statusoption, 0,
   &{sub {
       grep {$status eq $statusoption[$_] and return $_} 0..$#statusop
+tion
    }}
);

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
