Re^2: "chomp" not working

$var is taking input from an HTML text area. It goes something like this:

a,b,c,d
e,f,g,h
i,j,k,l
[download]

There is a carriage return at the end of each line. @arr1 before the chomp should like like above when printed out. However, I would expect that after the chomp that @arr1 would print like this:

a,b,c,d e,f,g,h i,j,k,l

But it doesn't, it prints like the first example.

There is a carriage return at the end of each line. @arr1 before the chomp should like like above when printed out. You are splitting on newlines. Why do you expect them to still be there?	[reply]

`a,b,c,d` `e,f,g,h` `i,j,k,l` @arr1 before the chomp should like like above when printed out.
