Name
chomp
Synopsis
chomp $var chomp @list
Description
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.
