删除尾随换行符

函数 chomp 将从传递给它的每个标量中删除一个换行符（如果存在）。chomp 将改变原始字符串并返回删除的字符数

my $str = "Hello World\n\n";
my $removed = chomp($str);
print $str;     # "Hello World\n"
print $removed; # 1    

# chomp again, removing another newline
$removed = chomp $str;
print $str;     # "Hello World"
print $removed; # 1    

# chomp again, but no newline to remove
$removed = chomp $str;
print $str;     # "Hello World"
print $removed; # 0    

你还可以同时发送多个字符串：

my @strs = ("Hello\n", "World!\n\n"); # one newline in first string, two in second

my $removed = chomp(@strs); # @strs is now  ("Hello", "World!\n")
print $removed;             # 2

$removed = chomp(@strs); # @strs is now ("Hello", "World!")
print $removed;          # 1  

$removed = chomp(@strs); # @strs is still ("Hello", "World!")
print $removed;          # 0

但通常情况下，没有人担心删除了多少换行符，因此通常在 void 上下文中看到 chomp，通常是由于从文件中读取了行：

while (my $line = readline $fh)
{
    chomp $line;

    # now do something with $line
}

my @lines = readline $fh2;

chomp (@lines); # remove newline from end of each line
