Perl: removing an array element?

Hello All,

Is their a SIMPLER way than this to remove a parlicular element from an
array:-

@array= split(/ /,"entry1 entry2 entry3 entry4 entry5 entry6");

print "array = @array\n";

$count=0;
$elementno=3;

foreach $line(@array){
 if ($count != $elementno) {push (@newarray,$line);}
 ++$count;
}

$array=$newarray;
print "array = @array\n";

This seems very cumbersome it would be nice if their was something like:-

delete(@array[3]);   or
remove(@array,3);
or something like that

Many thanks
