Answer / devinder kumar
chop will indiscriminately remove (and return) the last
character passed to it, while chomp will only remove the
end of record marker (generally, "\n"), and return the
number of characters so removed.

Answer / nagaraju kancherla
chop() removes the last character from a scalar value.
chomp() checks whether the last characters of a string or
list of strings match the input line separator defined by
the $/ system variable. If they do, chomp removes them.

Answer / pallavi
Chop function removes the last character of any specified
string or variable and returns the chopped data.
Ex: $a="abcdefghijkla";
$b= chop($a);
print $a;
Output - abcdefghijkl
Where as chomp removes all the new line at the end of any
specified string or variable and returns nothing.

Answer / wicked_sunny
Chop and Chomp are two very similar functions. Both of them
are used to delete symbols from the tail of the given
string. While both work with string and list parameters,
Chop deletes any ending symbol Chomp deletes only specified
substring from the end. If you pass list to any of these
two, all list elements will get processed and the return
value would be the result of last operation.

Answer / shaheed
If there is new line character at the end of string, chop()
and chomp() both will remove that new line character.
Else if there is no new line character at the end of string
then chop() will remove last character from the string
while chomp() keeps the string unchanged.
