I'm a novice, and I'm having a problem making a chomp loop. When people fill out my form textfield, they hit the enter key several times, making it necessary to chomp the variable for that field. In the code below I am able to chomp the variable one time, but if they hit enter more than once, more newlines make more spaces in the text file. Could someone please give me a chomp loop that will eliminate all newlines before i store the variables in a text file? Please don't make it heavy. I'm a novice, and easily confused. Thank you very much for your help! 
chomp ($message); 
open (ENTRY, ">>guestbook2.txt") ||ErrorMessage;
flock(ENTRY, 2);
print ENTRY "$name|$email|$url|$location|$message|$thisday 
$thismonth $mday, $thisyear\n";
flock(ENTRY, 8);
close (ENTRY);
