Perl provides several ways to remove elements from an array. `shift` removes one
element from the beginning, `pop` removes one element from the end, and `splice`
removes a slice of array (and insert another list in its place). There's also
`grep`, which lets you filter a list with a user-supplied code. While this does
not directly modify an array, you can simply assign the new filtered values to
the array. And I might just as well mention array slice (`@ary[1,3,4]` or
`@ary[1..4]`) which allows you to pick the range of elements you want by their
indices.

In addition to the above, there are also other modules which provide some
convenience.

**Removing duplicate items**

<pm:List::Util> provides C<uniq> (as well as C<uniqnum>, C<uniqint>, C<uniqstr>)
to remove duplicate items from a list. There's also <pm:List::Util::Uniq>
providing C<dupe>, C<dupenum>, C<dupeint>, and C<dupestr>, which return the
duplicates instead.

**Removing overlapped items**

<pm:Array::OverlapFinder> lets you find overlapping items from a series of
arrays and optionally remove them.

**Variations of `grep`**

Some modules offer variations of `grep`. For example, <pm:Array::KeepGrepped>
keeps the elements that are filtered out instead those that match the grep
expression. <pm:List::Util::sglice> offers `sglice`, which removes elements that
matches user-supplied code, except that `sglice` (like `splice`) allows you to
specify a limit to the number of elements to remove.

**mapslice**

<pm:List::Util::mapsplice> offers `mapsplice`, which removes a slice of array
but lets you replace each element with new elements using Perl code.

Acme::CPANModules::RemovingElementsFromArray - List of modules to help remove elements from array

=head1 VERSION

This document describes version 0.003 of Acme::CPANModules::RemovingElementsFromArray (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-RemovingElementsFromArray), released on 2023-09-30.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Perl provides several ways to remove elements from an array. C<shift> removes one
element from the beginning, C<pop> removes one element from the end, and C<splice>
removes a slice of array (and insert another list in its place). There's also
C<grep>, which lets you filter a list with a user-supplied code. While this does
not directly modify an array, you can simply assign the new filtered values to
the array. And I might just as well mention array slice (C<@ary[1,3,4]> or
C<@ary[1..4]>) which allows you to pick the range of elements you want by their
indices.

In addition to the above, there are also other modules which provide some
convenience.

B<Removing duplicate items>

L<List::Util> provides C<uniq> (as well as C<uniqnum>, C<uniqint>, C<uniqstr>)
to remove duplicate items from a list. There's also L<List::Util::Uniq>
providing C<dupe>, C<dupenum>, C<dupeint>, and C<dupestr>, which return the
duplicates instead.

B<Removing overlapped items>

L<Array::OverlapFinder> lets you find overlapping items from a series of
arrays and optionally remove them.

B<< Variations of C<grep> >>

Some modules offer variations of C<grep>. For example, L<Array::KeepGrepped>
keeps the elements that are filtered out instead those that match the grep
expression. L<List::Util::sglice> offers C<sglice>, which removes elements that
matches user-supplied code, except that C<sglice> (like C<splice>) allows you to
specify a limit to the number of elements to remove.

B<mapslice>

L<List::Util::mapsplice> offers C<mapsplice>, which removes a slice of array
but lets you replace each element with new elements using Perl code.
