Oh Great Monks, I have been crawling up a wall here on this, and can't seem to find a definitive answer via web searching. Does a foreach loop automatically add a newline to every value? And if so, why isn't chomp working? For example, if I do the following: 
open (EVENTS_FILE, 't1Vevents.txt');
@EVENT_ARRAY = <EVENTS_FILE>;
close (EVENTS_FILE);

foreach $event_line (@EVENT_ARRAY)
      {
      chomp;
      if ($event_line =~ m/\s*d1/i)
         {
         ($d1_title,$d1_value) = split(/:/,$event_line);
         }
      if ($event_line =~ m/\s*d2/i)
         {
         ($d2_title,$d2_value) = split(/:/,$event_line);
         }
      if ($event_line =~ m/\s*d4/i)
         {
         @array = (@array,$d1_value,$d2_value);
         }
      }
print @array;

my expected output would be 
v1v2
v1v2

however, what I get is 
v1
v2
v1
v2

I have tried chomp-ing on $event_line, and on @EVENT_ARRAY and @alarm_array, and on $d1_value and $d2_value but none of them seem to have the desired effect.

Thanks for the assistance!!
