I think we may need to see your Perl code Shaunn. I've never heard of a NEL character but that may be my ignorance; do you mean newline? How do you know the control characters aren't being removed by what you've done?
chomp() will remove the last character from a string if it is the input record separator character $/, normally '\n'. chop() will remove the last character whatever it is, and so will do the job as long as you're sure the string ends with a charatcer that you don't want.
