UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting Answer to the chomp question

Wait, actaully can someone please tell me why a chomp is needed in this small script?

#!/usr/bin/perl
$classname = "CGI Programming 101";
print "Hello there. What is your name?n";
$you = ;
chomp($you);
print "Hello, $you. Welcome to $classname.n";

Thanks, b/c Mark you said that if a character matches $/ Perl will automatically (by default) put a n right behind it right??
