Re: splice help - deleting specific element

grep is the correct command, it just looks like your grep block needs tuning. If the company names are just strings, you ought to be able to use:

@allcompanies = grep { not $_ eq $co } @allcompanies

Notice if there are duplicates, this will whack all of them.

While not $_ eq $co isn't incorrect, I rather write $_ ne $co.

Notice if there are duplicates, this will whack all of them.

That's easily solved:

my $i = 0;
@allcompanies = grep {$_ ne $co or $i++} @allcompanies;

I like yours better too.

About duplicates: I assume whacking dups is actually what was intended based on the problem description, but I thought it would be worthwhile to mention that side-effect.
