The chomp function works in combination with the $/ variable when reading from filehandles.

The $/ variable is the input record separator that is attached to the records you read from a filehandle and it is by default set to the newline character "\n".

The chomp function works by removing the last character from a string only if it matches the value of $/.

    The newline character is \n, note the \.
