Had it been a Windows-ish perl, it would have worked. Chomp uses
whatever the current value of "line separator" (or "input record separator", to be
more precise) is (that's $/). Under Unix it's just "\n".
Alas, $/ can't be a regular expression. The canonical way to deal with
that can be seen e.g. here[1].
