i have a script which just reads a file and depending upon a keyword i just write selected line to an output file

however i am not getting the expected output

use warnings;

my @lines;
my $mess;

open(hanr,"splitin.pl")or die"error $!\n";
open hanw, ">", "output.csv" or die $!;

@lines = <hanr>;

  foreach my $line (@lines) {
            chomp($line);
              $line =~ /^\$outcome /x or next; 
              my $Length = -2;
              my $mess = substr $line , 10 ,$Length;
              print hanw "$mess , \n";
              }
             
              
close hanr;
close hanw;

upon checking even after chomp i am getting lines such as these 

  if ( $prevseg ne "Iaw" ) 
  { 
    $outcome="alT - spi - Script $0 aborted. new Error Code: 022.  ";

because of indentation the regex fails , but i am puzzled as to why chomp doesnt work ?? ; why it does'nt remove the white spaces
