Dear monks, This query is also with reference to the post "printing the length of string variables". the program works for single line string, but not for multiple lines. However, there is a chomp for the strings which doesnt seem to work i think. Please guide. 
printing the length of string variables

use strict;
use warnings;

my ($head);

while(<DATA>){
     my ($x, $str, $len, $s);
     $s = $_;

     if($s=~m/^>/){
        chomp($s);
        ($head)=(split(/ /,$s))[0];
     }
     else{ 
        chomp($s);
        $len=length($s);
     }
     print "$head length=$len\n$s\n" if($s !~m/^>/);
}

__DATA__
>IDnumber1 length=350
AGCTG
AAGTCGCT
>IDnumber2 length=350
AGAACGT
ACC
>IDnumber3 length=350
AGC
ACTTCGCTAACT


Expected output:
-----------------
>IDnumber1 length=13
AGCTGAAGTCGCT
>IDnumber2 length=10
AGAACGTACC
>IDnumber3 length=15
AGCACTTCGCTAACT
