I was not discouraging its use. I was rather pointing out that @ARGV
does (usually) not contain trailing newlines. chomp() should be used
when - conceptually - there could be something to remove. In case of
filenames however you either don't have anything to remove or you don't
want to remove it. That way this chomp() could even be wrong (as John
remarked in his follow-up).
