That sounds like you are chopping $number rather than chomping, and getting the carriage return printed after the number without the linefeed.

In any case, to get it to print, it sounds like you might need to put a newline ("\n") on the end of your final print. (I say that because you are at least getting something if you don't chomp the array...)
