I suppose in <>-ese, that could be one of:

That sort of thing lets you do context-sensitive chunking, which is
a plus. But I think in the usual case people will be setting the
chompish bits on the handle at open time. The option there might
be :chomp(","), so maybe the override should be the same:
for $foo.< :chomp(",") > { ... }
which kind of gets you back to your eating metaphor. (In either
case, the delimiter is removed from the input string, but available
as $_.chomped or some such.)
