[tpm] chomp problem

[Mark Fowle]

line ends in windows tend to be \r\n.
comp safely removes one line end character, as aposed to chop that
removed one cjharacter from the end of a line.
so chomp$_; chomp $_; is safe and will work on any computer OS.

Hello All,

I have a simple script shown below:
on windows xp platform.



use warnings;
use strict;

while (<DATA>) {
        chomp $_;
        print "$_";
}

__END__
a
b
c
d
e
f
g
h


Why do I get an output that looks like this:
a
ab
bc
cd
de
ef
fg
ghh

I expected to see:
abcdefg


Thanks
O
