Even if it were, you're new versions of chomp() wouldn't have worked as you expected because you only operating on a copy of the argument rather than the argument itself.
Actually, that was the point of the new chomp(). Stems from this discussion in this thread. Though, of course, I was using the function kind-of incorrectly, since it would've not worked if the function had been overloaded. But I was looking for the extra "\n" before the '$' at the end (hrm, I just realized my "expected output" is wrong! :).
Anyway, thanks bunches for explaining about the 'weak' keywords and return values in toke.c! I'll have to take a look at that file when I get the chance.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
