Hi,
how to chomp extra \n character or white space i am getting in text area using template toolkit.
I have an arrays of hashes, 
my  @add=(
{
  name=>"Submode",
  value=>[ 'Ford Prefect', 'Slartibartfast' ],
}
);
i pass this array of  to template by
my %data = (
            add => \@add );
my $template = Template->new({
});
$template->process(temp.tmpl, \%data)
    || die $template->error();

In the template file i process as 
[% FOREACH element = add %]
<textarea rows="4" name="[%element.name %]" >
 [% FOREACH option = element.value %]
 [% option %]
 [%END%]
</textarea>
[%END%]

[download]

when it is displayed in the template in text area
$
Ford Prefect$
$
Ford Prefect$
$
$
These extra characters are coming ie displaying with '\n'. Displaying it as

Ford Prefect

Ford Prefect
i tried with 
"% option.chomp % and also % option.trim %"

but as the result nothing is displaying in the text area.
how to modify my code to trim or chomp extra characters or '\n' characters using template toolkit.
