Name
chomp
Synopsis
chomp $var chomp @list
Removes any line-ending characters of a string in
$
var, or each string in @ list, that
correspond to the current value of $/ (not just any last character, as
chop does). chomp returns the number of characters
deleted. If $/ is empty (in
paragraph mode), chomp removes
all newlines from the selected string (or strings, if chomping a list). If no argument is
given, the function chomps the
$_ variable.
