thanks all for your help. It is my understanding that chomp($var); will
only strip the \n from the end of a string. I'm dealing with strings
that could potentially be littered with newline characters. I have an
o'reilly perl book, but it's not super clear on how to strip *all*
newline character
If you always know it will be a \n, then you can do
$str =~ tr/\n//d;

You can.
$a =~ s!$/!!g;
Perl just gets confused with the /'s, you have to use alternate
delimiters.
