I was using chomp($year) and so not returning expected result. Thanks So... What did it return? What did you expect? How did you verify the result? How did you fail to read the documentation? The documentation for `chomp` tells you how `chomp` works and what it returns. It is the contents of the variable itself that you should verify. Update: to be concise, I added "the contents of" to the line above. Cheers, Sören Créateur des bugs mobiles - let loose once, run everywhere.
