First, you've got a character class [^...]. You don't want that.
Second, you've got {no}, when you want $no.
Third, you need the opposite of the regex (so use ! /.../).
@new = grep { ! /^$no/ } @list;
You might want to put a \Q before $no, to ensure that any regex characters
in $no are seen as normal characters.
@new = grep !/^\Q$no/, @list;
