Hi redkar,

Did you read the documentation for chomp? chomp returns the number of characters removed. Also, you are missing a semicolon from the end of your second line.

Try the following short example:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

print "Please enter some text: ";
my $input = <STDIN>;
chomp($input);
print "You typed $input\n";

Read Basic Input and Output from the tutorials section of this site, and also the chomp documentation.

Hope this helps

Martin
