Do you mean "complement", or do you mean that you should say kind words
about your reading? :)

I recommend "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance : An Inquiry into
Values" by Robert M. Pirsig. Has nothing to do with Perl or computers
but is a good read anyway.

I must say you have a point, but it would be *a lot* easier to understand what

A good way to learn how a function works is to write a small program to
test it. There is nothing like hands-on experience.

Hello,
The chomp function will chomp off the last character
if its a new line.
Spaces wont be truncated by chomp.

Hello
I am wondering how the chomp function works. I am looking to see how
I can truncate new line and/or carriage returns from a string. Will
chomp do nothing if there are no carriage return or line feed at the
end. If the end of the string has a space will it leave it alone?
