best way to eliminate a row in a multidimensional array

[Jack]

Hi I want to take out an entire row of a multidim array (everything
about it) and have the row below "assume" the row and index numbers
(and any other subsequent rows also would move up 1 with their
indices)..

Also, I am looking for a good way to count the number of rows in a
given multidim array..

Curious how this can be done.

Thank you,

Jack

What have you tried so far? What didn't work? How about something like
the code below?

sub remove_array_element {
my $array = shift;
my $index = shift || 0;

my @array = ();
for ( 0..$#$array ) {
push( @array, $array->[$_] ) unless ( $_ == $index );
}

return \@array;
}

'perldoc -f splice' actually.
