Try this, haven't test it my self, 'cuz I don't have much time right now but felt like helping you as much as I can.

open(FILE,"textfile.txt");
@all_places = <FILE>;
close(FILE);

open (FILE,">textfile.txt");
foreach $place (@all_places) {
chop($place) if ($place =~ /\n$/);
if ($place ne "place 2") {
print FILE $place . "\n";
}
}
close (FILE);
