Then get yourself used to it.

Basically, it's just an ordinary array assignment and a function is applied to that array. Anyone understands what chomp does would find extra comments as superflous, unless you mean something else:

# From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 : # Chomp \Chomp\, v. i. # To chew loudly and greedily; to champ. [Prov. Eng. & Colloq. U. S +.] --Halliwell. # [1913 Webster] # # From WordNet (r) 2.0 : # chomp # n : the act of gripping or chewing off with the teeth and jaws # [syn: bite] # v : chew noisily; "The boy chomped his sandwich" [syn: champ] chomp(my @directories_time_tagged = <DATA>);

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
