[tpm] chomp problem

[Indy Singh]

Hello,

The scripts works as expected for me.  There is no issue with line 
endings.  On Windows Perl automatically translats the input lines so 
they terminate with a newline ('\n').  This works if the file is in 
Windows format, or even if it is in Unix format.  This works correctly 
with several versions of Perl from 5.6.1 to 5.12.2.

Your problem is that your source file is corrupted in some way.  It may 
conain a mixture of incorrect lineending or there be be some invisible 
space characters in it.

To view a hex dump of the file, type the command 'debug filename.pl'. 
Then type 'd' and enter a few times.

To fix the file create a new text file with notepad and copy and paste 
the text from your own email.

If you are still not sure, then send the file as an attachment, or post 
a hex dump of the file.  Let us know what version of Perl you are using.
