Greetings Monks!
I come again seeking wisdom. This code takes the @a and if the contents match a key in the hash %list it pushes the value of the key into my output array, if there is no match it pushes the original input. Works fine until I change line 3 to my @a=<STDIN>; and add chomp (@a); The changes result in an empty array being returned. Can someone tell me why my input from STDIN would look different than the same input from the array, considering that I do chomp it?
TIA

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my @a=(1..99);
my (@names,@name_nums);
@names=name_nums(@a);
print "@names";

sub name_nums {
    my (%list,@name_nums,$this_num, @input);
    @input=@_;
    @list{1..9}=qw(one two three four five six seven eight nine);
    foreach (@input){
        if (exists $list{ $_ }){
            push @name_nums, $list{ $_ };
        }else{
            push (@name_nums,$_);
        }
    }
return @name_nums;
}
