Can someone give the process to unsubscribe? Crash took out mail folder, so lost my saved welcome message that had that info.

So experiment before you begin "chomping: on it unnecessarily. This can get expensive depending on the size of the array.

At any rate, it couldn't hurt, because it will remove only the new line character or \n at the end of the line, if any. Humberto ----- Original Message ----- From: Homme, James To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2011 10:11 AM Subject: Perl: Confusion About A Little Piece Of Code Hi, Maybe I'm not understanding this. Here is some code. print "Enter some numbers on separate lines: "; my $user_total = total(<STDIN>); I'm pretending that there's a subroutine that adds up the numbers. I'm thinking that I would enter the numbers from the keyboard on separate lines, and when I'm done, I'd press the key combination that signals end of input. When the program gets the array, I'm thinking that each line would have a new line on the end of it. Here's where the question comes in. Would the subroutine need to use the chomp function to get rid of the new lines before it adds up the numbers, or would it be happy with the line endings? Thanks.
