Is there a way to have this done in an easier way?
And have the array collapse shrink?
(i.e. if the array size is 10 when this happens '@array[count] = "";' have the array size shrink to size 9)?

$count = 0;
$item = "match";
foreach $element (@array)
{
   if($element eq $item)
   {
     @array[count] = "";
   }
   count++;
}
