Attached to this email is chomp.pl, a Perl script which removes trailing
whitespace from several files. I've had this for years, as trailing whitespace
is one of my pet peeves.

Now that git-applymbox complains loudly whenever a patch adds trailing
whitespace, I figured this script may be useful to others.


Pretty long script. How about this two-liner? It does not show 'bytes chomped' but it also trims trailing whitespace.

#!/usr/bin/perl -i -p
s/[ \t\r\n]+$//

Yes, it does, but a bit too aggressive for what we need :)
