in reply to Down-vote Bad, Up-vote Good

I just wanted to explain my intension's as I was in-directly or directly involved in it

The OP already knows that you don't need to pass a reference to chomp

It's because I understood the question wrongly. I also added the following line in my post Are you asking how chomp knows the $chomper's address to take the values from it?? because I haven't clear with the question

point to the Suffering from Buffering node

I pointed because I felt it has the answer in it and I read it already. In Suffering from Buffering, under the title Disabling Inappropriate Buffering you can see the statement In Perl, you can't turn the buffering of and I thought it would provide some thing to other and it is worth mentioning it here.

Why are such poor and irrelevant nodes getting such a high reputation?

Because you think it is poor, but not others

Finally I just wanted to say that I'm here to learn and live in perl and to contribute to a society which provide me a lot of information. I too know that XP is just a number and I have internalized that.

    I'm staring at your post in disbelief. You're not clear on the question:

    How does chomp change the contents of the string without the need to pass it in by reference?

    To me that's a perfectly simple and lucid question, with a good code example. To imply that it's unclear is simply disingenuous and somewhat demeaning. Maybe the concept wasn't clear to you, but I don't think that's the fault of the OP.

      Don't take yourself to be the measure of all. It is the basis for misunderstandings and bad things have been caused by it. As Sun Tzu said: "If words of command are not clear and distinct, if orders are not thoroughly understood, then the general is to blame."

      A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
