chop
chop $var chop @list
Chops off the last character of a string contained
in the variable $
var (or strings in each element of a
@
list) and returns the character
chopped. The chop operator is
used primarily to remove the newline from the end of an input
record but is more efficient than s/\n$//. If no argument is given, the
function chops the $_
variable.
