Can the indented code below be written better (fewer lines or easier/better
algorithm)?

srand(time ^ $$); # i don't care about the seed

$words = "Removes a random letter";

$randnum = int( rand( length($words) ) ); # always an interger number one
less than the length

        # this was the only way I could think of (without using an array)
        $words =~ s/(.{$randnum})./$1/o;  # to remove the random letter

print "$subject $randnum\n";

__END__

What if I wanted to put this in a subroutine with out worrying about
performance issues of the pattern match? Is there a better way without the
pattern match I am doing?

I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step
forward.
