I paritally agree that it could be un-clear. Perhaps s/\s+$//; # Remove all \r, \n, ^M from end of line would be clearer. I got this solution from this list because I suffered from this same problem a lot and chomp was not working as expected. It would leave a character on the end that still interpreted as a newline by the shell. When that happened, in the context of a file-system lookup, the results were baffling.
