That is somewhat troubling to me, actually. Most times when I see chop being misused, it's on irc, glancing over people's pre-made web scripts that confused chop and chomp. But knowing that chop is used incorrectly by professional applicants (hopefully just in typographical errors?), is mildly discomforting in comparison. I believe that I've read before that you are hiring for positions heavily immersed in Perl, and this seems to me like something most people with a moderate amount of Perl in them would notice (again, forgiving typos).
