No. I've got to agree with Chris on this. It's not like he's asking what
bless does or something equally in-depth. Any basic perl tutorial will
explain what chomp is, and what it does.
This isn't a mailing list to teach people perl. It's a list where people can
get help about perl (yes, newbies to perl, but hopefully not lacking some
common sense and/or brains). There is a difference.
Asking for help sort of requires that you've tried phase one (Trying to
solve the problem yourself) and phase two (searching the internet for a
solution, after all www.google.com is a wonderful thing) and were just about
to enter phase three (repeatedly banging your head against your desk in the
vain hope that either you'd have an epiphany or your boss would take pity on
you and extend the deadline) when you though "I know, I'll mail the
Beginners list at Perl.org. Maybe someone there can help"....
Rant over.

newborn ;) slap them on the arse to get them breathing.
This was overkill ;) more like a boot to the skull!
take it easy bubba :)
