NAME Text::Chomped - A chomp and chop that will return the chomped and chopped VERSION Version 0.02 SYNOPSIS # Old way sub sentence { my $value = <<_END_ A quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog _END_ chomp $value; return $value; } # New way use Text::Chomped; sub sentence { chomped <<_END_ } A quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog _END_ # Chomp a list (have to use [], sorry) my @got = chomped [ "A\n", "b", "c\n", ... ] # ... or ... my $got = chomped [ "A\n", "b", "c\n", ... ] $got->[0] # A DESCRIPTON Text::Chomped will export "chomped" and "chopped" which behave like "chomp" and "chop" except return the cho[mp]ped value rather than what was cho[mp]ped off (the character) Unfortunately subroutine prototyping in Perl cannot ape the builtin chomp/chop prototype, so you'll have to pass in an ARRAY reference if you want to chomp/chop a list Another consequence of the above, is that we can't use $_ without making the interface annoying, so you can't do: map { chomped } "A\n", "b", "c\n" You have to do: map { chomped $_ } "A\n", "b", "c\n" ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Y\ /Y | \ _ / | _____ | =(_)= | ,-~" "~-. ,-~\/^ ^\/~-. ,^ ___ ___ ^. ,^ ___ ___ ^. / .^ ^. .^ ^. \ / .^ ^. .^ ^. \ Y l O! l O!
