I hope not. chomp() should match the string in $?, no more or less. Your problem is not with chomp(). Rather it is with the I/O subsystem. If you are reading a file as a newline-terminated text file, then what your Perl code should see is "\n" and nothing else. You can achieve this with tied filehandles, but I understand that isn't what you're looking for. I think the "right" way of doing this is by providing some sort of filter apparatus on files. Things of this sort were discussed in the context of unicode. I don't recall where (if anywhere) that ended. Mike GuyThread Previous | Thread Next
