Interesting question. First thought was full slices. It's faster than grep but still nowhere near splice.
use warnings;
use strict;
use Benchmark qw/cmpthese/;
my @numbers = ( 0..20 );
my $index = 3;
my @expect = ( 0..2,4..20 );
use constant TEST => 0;
cmpthese(-2, {
splice => sub {
my @output = @numbers;
splice @output, $index, 1;
join("\0", @output) eq join("\0", @expect) or die if TEST;
},
grep => sub { # https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=11123877
my @output = @numbers[ grep $_ != $index, 0 .. $#numbers ];
join("\0", @output) eq join("\0", @expect) or die if TEST;
},
slice => sub {
my @output = @numbers[0..$index-1,$index+1..$#numbers];
join("\0", @output) eq join("\0", @expect) or die if TEST;
},
});
__END__

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).
