Hello monks

I have this rather silly problem with a piece of code :

I have a ".txt" file with the following lines :

1998.03.25.01

1999.10.01.01

Parameter 1

Parameter 2

There is no 'new line' between each line of the file.

And this code :

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
     
use strict;
use locale;
use warnings;
#use diagnostics;
use utf8;

binmode(STDIN, "encoding(utf8)");
binmode(STDOUT, "encoding(utf8)");
binmode(STDERR, "encoding(utf8)");

my $usr_input = "test/test.txt";
open (USRIN, '<:utf8', $usr_input) || die "Couldn't open $usr_input : 
+$!\n";

my @data_usr = <USRIN>;
my $start_input = $data_usr[0];
my $end_input = $data_usr[1];
my $param1 = $data_usr[2];
my $param2 = $data_usr[3];

print "$start_input";
print "$end_input";
print "$param1";
print "$param2";

close (USRIN);

Everything works, but I always seem to get a new line in my variables. I tried everything : chomp (@data_usr), or chomping first URSIN in a while loop, or chomping each new variable. It seems that each time chomp removes all the characters not only the "\n" one.

What am I doing wrong ? I know it's a really newbie question.

Thank you
