I have a file containing a list of tables from an oracle schema.
I have to generate replication support for these tables, which is simple enough using the Oracle API.
The problem is coming when I try to generate the sql script from the file. It appears to be putting a newline at the end of the table names. Attached is the code to generate the script. I have tried to chomp() the table name once in the foreach loop, but that just returned a 1 in place of the table name. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

my $schema = shift(@ARGV);
my $infile = "./".$schema."_tables.out";
my $outfile = "./gen_rep_support_".$schema."_tables.sql";
my $table;

open (INFILE, "< $infile") or die "Couldn't open $infile: $!";
my @tables = <INFILE>;
close (INFILE);

open (OUTFILE, "> $outfile") or die "Couldn't open $outfile: $!";

foreach $table (@tables) {
    print OUTFILE "BEGIN\n";
    print OUTFILE "   DBMS_REPCAT.CREATE_MASTER_REPOBJECT (\n";
    print OUTFILE "      gname => 'beastdb_mstr_grp',\n";
    print OUTFILE "      type => 'TABLE',\n";
    print OUTFILE "      oname => '$table',\n";
    print OUTFILE "      sname => '$schema',\n";
    print OUTFILE "      use_existing_object => TRUE,\n";
    print OUTFILE "      copy_rows => FALSE);\n";
    print OUTFILE "END;\n";
    print OUTFILE "/\n\n";
}

close (OUTFILE);

Thanks for any help.
