Dear monks

Could you help me fix this bug ? The chomp command does not seem to work. Here is my program. I knlow I have asked about a smilar problem but this time, it seems that chomp does not seem to work, at least on csv files.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

my $c_inFile = q{countries_list.csv};
open my $c_INFILE, q{<}, $c_inFile or die "Can't open countries_list.c
+sv : $!";

my $c_outFile = q{test_list.csv};
open my $c_OUTFILE, q{>}, $c_outFile or die "Can't open countries_list
+.csv : $!";


my $country;

while (my $line = <$c_INFILE>){
    chomp($line);
    my @Elements = split(";",$line); 
    $country =  $Elements[0];
    print $c_OUTFILE "the country is p${country}p\n";
}    

close $c_INFILE;
close $c_OUTFILE;

Here is my input file

Italy
USA
France
[download]

Here is my output file

the country is pItaly
p
the country is pUSA
p
the country is pFrance
p
[download]

But when my input file is

Italy;1
USA;1
France;1
[download]

The output file is

the country is pItalyp
the country is pUSAp
the country is pFrancep
