in reply to chomp() problems

Not quite sure why chomp isn't working, but your tr// isn't very wise as you are replacing the \r\n with 2 null (ascii 0) bytes which could bite (chomp:) back later.

I think tr/\r\n//; would probably be better.

If you posted the relevant bit of your code, it might be easier to see why chomp isn't doing what you expect.

    Personally, if it's not working but you have a work around, I'd go with the work around, although I would agree with the above comment and not use the NULLS.

      OTOH, this could be a symptom of a larger problem which could surface again later, but might not be as easy to find. I suggest figuring out what it going on. Besides, having a better understanding of the code can't hurt, right? :-)
