Yes it should, sorry about that mistake.



John

use Perl;
program
fulfillment

I tested this code

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my @file = ();
@file = qq(foo, derek, smith, bar);
for my $i ( reverse 0 .. $#file ) {
    splice @file, $i, 1 if $file[$i] =~ /foo/;
}
print @file;

and it prints nothing.  I thought the goal was to just splice the
element that matched foo???

I changed it to 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my @file = ();
@file = qq(foo, derek, smith, bar);
for my $i ( reverse 0 .. $#file ) {
    splice @file, $i, 1 if $file[$i] eq "foo";
}
print @file;

and it prints
foo, derek, smith, bar
