Deleting containers or elements via a template

I am looping through an array of stories, and for each one I want to
delete some of its subelements.

$rs is each story.

$subelem = $rs->get_container("mysub");
foreach my $subb ($subelem->get_containers) {
my $e = $subb->get_element;
$e->delete;
$subb->save();
$rs->save();
}

This did not work. The error message is

Bad AUTOLOAD method format: Bric::Biz::ElementType::delete

Any ideas?

Hi Ashlee,

If you want to remove every container inside a "mysub" container, you
can do that like this:

$subelem = $rs->get_container("mysub");
my @kill_list = $subelem->get_containers;
$subelem->delete_elements(\@kill_list);
$subelem->save;

Hope this helps,

Bret
