The next step: How do you remove any array element that exactly matches any of 'fee' 'fie' 'foe'?

c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le
"my @ra = qw(foo fee efie fiee efiee foe fum);
 print qq{before: (@ra)};
 ;;
 my $rx_fee_fie_foe = qr{ \A f [eio] e \z }xms;
 ;;
 @ra = grep !m{ $rx_fee_fie_foe }xms, @ra;
 print qq{after:  (@ra)};
"
before: (foo fee efie fiee efiee foe fum)
after:  (foo efie fiee efiee fum)

Question: How would you remove all array elements that match the above pattern anywhere in the string, so that the final output will be foo fum?

Please see perlre, perlretut, and perlrequick.

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.
