Monk_perl:
You can find just about everything at http://perldoc.perl.org:
- perlvar Predefined variables in perl
- perlrun Running perl, command-line arguments, ...
- perlfunc Functions found in perl (chop, chomp, etc.)
Also, if you're running perl at the command line, you can type
perldoc perlvar to read the perlvar document (which is what I was referring to in my first reply). You can read about perldoc with the command
perldoc perldoc which will give you some handy shortcuts, such as the one I use most:
perldoc -f functionname which will give you the documentation for the function you specify.
Finally, of course, there's google. Giving it a search like perl difference between chop chomp will lead you directly to the answer to one of your questions. Never forget about google when you're in a hurry.
