[Bioperl-l] outfile question mark

[Jordi Durban]

Thanks Frank! I knew the meaning of chomp but I didn't think that it was
the reason to include a question mark in the outfile.
The bioperl mail list has been useful for an non-wise perl user at least!!
Oh! I want to thank Liam too for its so helpul advice:
*I think you need to do your own homework...*
