You too. And the messages you reply to.
Apostolia asked how to remove elements from arrays. NOT hashes
(aka associative arrays) !
To get back to the original question ...
@a = qw(a b c d e f);
splice @a, 1, 2; # delete 2 items starting with $a[1]

And actualy you should consider using hashes instead. It will be
quicker and easier.
