I'm going insane, right? Trying to trim newlines out of an array read from a file. I'm a relative newb, but everything I've read on the internet tells me this should work. (I've taken out all the format validation for testing).

input.txt has this in it:

111.111.111.111
222.222.222.222
333.333.333.333
[download]

Here is my snippet:

my $File = input.txt;
open(FILE, "$File");
@IPLIST = <FILE>;
close(FILE);

foreach my $test (@IPLIST) {
  print "Is $test an IP?\n";
}
[download]

Output looks like this:

Is 111.111.111.111
an IP?
Is 222.222.222.222
an IP?
Is 222.222.222.222
an IP?
[download]

Expected behavior, right? So then I add chomp(@IPLIST); before my loop, and the output becomes this:

Is
an IP?
Is
an IP?
Is
an IP?
[download]

Same behavior if I do it on the read:  chomp( @IPLIST = <FILE> ); or in the loop for each element. Isn't chomp supposed to do the opposite of this??? What am I missing?
