I ran on Windows 98 with Perl v5.6.1:

&remove_title;
sub remove_title
{
 system "cls";
 print "Enter Title you wish to remove (this will delete the .iso):";
 chomp($title = "default." . <STDIN>);
 print $title . "\n";
 print "test";
 print "test";
 sleep(2);
 }
[download]

Result:

Enter Title you wish to remove (this will delete the .iso):xxx
default.xxx
testtest
[download]

(The sleep occurs also.)

(Have you looked at the script file with an editor in binary mode to check for any invisible characters which might be gumming things up? That's happened to me...Am I misunderstanding the problem?)
