TMTOWTDI. chop() and chomp() should stay (IMHO).
Your "println" suggestion has merit though. There's already a way to
accomplish it via a command line switch (-l), but I guess what you're
after is a language level method to turn automatic addition of
newlines on and off. How about a new lexical pragma--newlines?
use newlines;
print "Hi"; # Automatically adds the newline
no newlines;
print "Hi"; # Does NOT automatically add the newline
