Nope.

It's really not that hard to test these things before posting, you know!

With a wave of the hands, I conjure a test script from an earlier post:

# chomp(my @array = <DATA>);
chomp, push @array, $_ for <DATA>;

local $" = "><";
print "We have <@array>\n";
__DATA__
foo
bar
baz


Now, for pennance, Andrew can explain why it *does* work ...
