in thread Can figure out a way to get File::Grep's fgrep to chomp matches

I see, please try

  my @line = fmap { chomp; /^[2-6] .+$/ ? $_ : () } *DATA;

Sorry, I don't think this interface was well designed ...

HTH :)

    It worked, however, it would not help when feeling it a list of files where one wants the line numbers and file names.

    $VAR1 = [
          '2 foo',
          '3 bar',
          '4 baz',
          '5 qux',
          '6 quux'
        ];

    If I feed it a list of files, I get a list of everything which matches but no line numbers and file names attached. You helped a lot today! Thank you!

    No matter how hysterical I get, my problems are not time sensitive. So, relax, have a cookie, and a very nice day!

      As already mentioned, I don't like this implementation, far too many surprises.

      No wonder it's version 0.02

      You could fix it probably with a leading chomp inside the fgrep, but frankly it's easier to code it the old fashioned way than to struggle with this interface.

      I don't have this module installed, sorry.
