Subject: [Israel.pm] How to remove elements according to a filter from an array

Hi,

Assuming I have a big array, and I want to remove elemnts according to a
criteria, how do I do it ?
Please note, I am not asking about getting a new list of elements that
passed the filter (like grep does), but removing the items from the
original list.  For a big array (and assuming that arrays are
implemented with linked list (is it ?)), then removing items from the
original list might be much faster.
