Nope, chomp() will only delete a single trailing \n.
For those who like to count rivets, what it really does is removes a
trailing string exactly matching the current value of the input record
separator as defined by the $/ variable -- which is set to "\n" unless
you've changed it yourself. Other trailing whitespace won't be removed by
chomp.
