Re^3: Should chomping a constant always raise an error?

Oddly enough, if you use the Readonly module to mark your variable readonly, chomping will only fail if the variable is actually tried to be modified:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Readonly;

Readonly my $msg1 => "Hello, world";
Readonly my $msg2 => "Hello, world\n";

chomp $msg1;  # line 11
chomp $msg2;  # line 12

__END__
Modification of a read-only value attempted at /tmp/ro line 12
