Well, heck. If we're gonna go that route, may as well golfuscate it:
sub my_chomp { substr shift, 0, (length) - 1 if $_[0] =~ /\n$/}; # :-)
Cheers,
Ovid
Update: Can anyone tell that I am *seriously* bored at work?
sub my_chomp { wantarray ? (map{ /\n$/ ? substr $_, 0, (length)-1 : $_
+ } @_)
: chomp(my $x = shift),$x };
That ugly hack will work for both arrays and scalars (I think). I noticed that it appears to be returning an empty element at the end of the array, though. :(

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
