    chomp does not remove all newlines from a string, only the last newline. This removes all newlines: 
    $string =~ s/\n//g;

    More precisely:
    This safer version of "chop" removes any trailing string that corresponds to the current value of $/ (also known as $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR in the English module).
