- our Str method Str::chomp ( Str $string: )
-
-Returns string with newline removed from the end.  An arbitrary
-terminator can be removed if the input filehandle has marked the
-string for where the "newline" begins.  (Presumably this is stored
-as a property of the string.)  Otherwise a standard newline is removed.
