In short: How could and or should I simplify this?...
$var = `return from some system call`;
chomp $var;
print "$var";
The aim of the code is to strip the newline from the end of the item returned from system and then print the rest.
Wibble: Monks, I am frequently impressed by the code\solutions\discussions posted here. In my quest to improve myself and my Perl I would like to write better code but I seldom glean insight from the stuff posted as it's too far above my level. I hope I won't displease senior monks too much with this question. The answers I hope will bring the greatest improvment in my current understanding and codeing (as I hope any techniques demonstrated can be applied in other 'in line' simplificaitons).

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
