Hello. I've been stuck for over an hour now. I can't figure out how to get File::Grep's fgrep to return chomped values in its matches. I've tried chomping $file, chomping $_ in the fgrep, and more. Am I using it wrong, not understand something in the module description, or just plain out of luck and have to munge the values of matches later?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Grep qw(fgrep);
use Data::Dumper;

my @line = fgrep { /^[2-6] .+$/ } *DATA;
print Dumper(\@line);

__DATA__
2 foo
3 bar
4 baz
5 qux
6 quux
7 thingy
8 widget

The output is

$VAR1 = [
          {
            'filename' => *::DATA,
            'count' => 5,
            'matches' => {
                           '1' => '2 foo
',
                           '2' => '3 bar
',
                           '3' => '4 baz
',
                           '4' => '5 qux
',
                           '5' => '6 quux
'
                         }
          }
        ];

I'm at the end of my abilities.

No matter how hysterical I get, my problems are not time sensitive. So, relax, have a cookie, and a very nice day!
