hi aufflick
I am not sure whether you have tested this program in Windows or not
If you run your script on Windows, the carrage return and newline will both be removed (since it's expected that under Windows files will end in both a carriage return and a newline).
I tested this program in windows, which is not behaving in the way you have explained.
$one = "Hello\r\n";
print "Before chomp" , length($one) , "\n";
chomp($one);
print "After Chomp" , length($one) , "\n";
output:-
Before chomp 7
After Chomp 6
From that I understood that only the newline is removed in chomp, not the carriage return.

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).
