mkdir() help

So in the script I'm writing I need to create a directory. However, when I use the following script, a directory is created, but with a ? attached to the end of my input (which the terminal recongizes as \n). Can anyone help me get rid of this bothersome "?"?.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use File::Copy;

print("What is the name of the directory you would like to create?");
my $in = <>;
mkdir "$in";

  2. mkdir "$in";
