Based on what you are doing in the code you posted, I would think about using two arrays. One to hold all the original values, and one to hold what you want displayed in the combobox. Once you have received the value to be deleted, simply generate the second array by parsing through the IDs of the first array and add them to the second unless the ID matches the one selected in the first combobox.

There are plenty of other options, but I based this on what you show your are attempting to do in your posted code. I have a notion that there is a module somewhere on CPAN which will make this easier for you, but without knowing more about what and how you are doing things, it is a bit hard to suggest options.

• 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.
