What is the difference between chop & chomp functions in perl?..

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.
