(This has been edited to make sense. I'ved added additional lines of code and a definition) I am attempting to read in a data file and then make variable assignments from the array. I don't want the '\n' at the end of each line. When I do this: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

open SSG, "<ADRX.ssg" || die "can\'t open ADRX.ssg";

@ssg = <SSG>;
chomp @ssg;

print $ssg[93];

I get bupkis. it means nothing in Yiddish 
[ceidem@bizet ~/src/perl/ssg]$ ./pssg2.pl 
[ceidem@bizet ~/src/perl/ssg]$

If I remove the chomp(), the data are there in the array as it says on the box, 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

open SSG, "<ADRX.ssg" || die "can\'t open ADRX.ssg";

@ssg = <SSG>;
#chomp @ssg;

print $ssg[93];

but then I've got the '\n'. 
[ceidem@bizet ~/src/perl/ssg]$ ./pssg2.pl

If I use a foreach and a chomp, I get nothing. What gives? How can I remove the newline? Thank you in advance, - yam
