On most lists, you would be correct. However, this being the
beginners list, we don't expect that everyone will even know where to
look. We are here to help with that. At the very least you could
have expended much less effort in just typing "perldoc -f chomp" or
some variation thereof.
: "I know, I'll mail the Beginners list at Perl.org. Maybe someone there can help"....
This is exactly what we should expect a beginner to be thinking when
they ask questions here. Other lists on perl.org are, of course,
different.
And, in case this thread is thinking of moving forward, it has been
closed.
