in reply to Re^2: from txt file to array
in thread from txt file to array

If you see being "pedantic" (i.e. explicit) as something good (I sometimes do too), then you simply should avoid punctuation variables and implicit arguments altogether: 
my @myarray;
while (my $item = <DATA>) {
  chomp $item;
  push @myarray, $item;
}

But here my taste would be a more functional idiom: 
my @myarray = map { chomp; $_ } <DATA>;

    More untested func to avoid empty slots:

    my @myarray = map { chomp; $_ } grep { $_ ne "" }  <DATA>;
