chomp($string) will remove the last character from $string ONLY if that character is a newline \n. chop($string) will remove the last character from $string regardless of what it is.

Well, I just picked up perl a few months ago using free resources on the internet. I do that all the time! Don't forget to use the resources on the internet, free books, tutorials, scripts and more!

I agree with DoubleOK. I learnt (and still learn) by creating my own scripts. If I get stuck, I search for a solution in some mailing list archive, or I BUG my perl mentor

Chomp removes newline(char 13) & char 10 from a variable I think.

Welcome DoubleOK. I too, just learned PERL. And I have to agree with you. I bought a PERL book and used it to make my own script. Worked on it for about 4 weeks, but it worked fairly well. Now I have 2 PERL books, a PHP book, and an ASP book(err..). They all are indespensable.

Just wanted to throw in what little brains I got left.
