[tpm] how to delete array entries en-passant

[Fulko Hew]

As the subject line asks...
what I'd like to do is something like

foreach (@array) {
    if (condition) {
        splice @array, this_entry, 1;
        next;
    }
    do processing on this entry;
}

@array now contains a sub-set of the original
that I can now further process




'delete' might work, but the words say delete on arrays is deprecated
and it still doesn't give me the delete 'this' entry concept, because
it too works on an index.

I'd like to do it without creating another array, because I like
'premature optimizations' and because I think it would make the
code more readable.  :-)

TIA
Fulko
