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?

If $/ contains a string then chomp() removes the contents of the $/ variable
from the end of the string and it returns a count of the number of $/ that
were removed. If $/ contains undef or a reference then chomp() does nothing.
