in thread Extra Character from telnet

Ok, I put the test before the chomp and now I no longer get the little square but what looks like a carriage return.

    Ok, so there's a confusion what the end of line is here. The telnet client is sending a CRLF, and when you chomp it, you end up (for some reason) with only the CR. You could try messing with $/ to get chomp to cut off both chars. See perlvar for more details.
