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

Here is what your suggestion returned...

$VAR1 = [ { 'count' => 5, 'matches' => { '3' => '4 baz ', '5' => '6 quux ', '2' => '3 bar ', '4' => '5 qux ', '1' => '2 foo ' }, 'filename' => *::DATA } ];

I am beginning to believe this module is not set up for chomping the matches until they are munged later. The reason I even started this was that the dumper data looks bad with the newlines in the data.

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