## chomp

    chomp $var
    chomp @list

Removes any line-ending characters of a string in $var, or each string in @list, that correspond to the current value of `$/` (not just any last character, as `chop` does). `chomp` returns the number of characters deleted. If `$/` is empty (in paragraph mode), `chomp` removes all newlines from the selected string (or strings, if `chomp`ing a list). If no argument is given, the function `chomp`s the `$_` variable.
