in thread Unsuccessful stat on file test

In my experience, any whitespace at the end of what should be a filename is extraneous.

Often, files which list filenames come with Windows line endings (\x0D\x0A) and on Unix, chomp will only remove the \x0A, leaving remaining but erroneous whitespace.

    Make sense. I have never used chomp when the extra spaces were a factor in processing.

    Thanks for the tip.
