I'd iterate backwards through the array therefore avoiding the missing element syndrome when using an index counter. So if we were removing 1 and 3 from the following array... 
my @array = qw( 1 2 3 4 );

for ( my $index = $#array; $index >= 0; --$index )
{
  splice @array, $index, 1
    if $array[$index] =~ /1|3/;  # remove certain elements
}
