ChopBlanks

this attribute determines whether a fetchrow will chop preceding and trailing blanks off the column values. Chopping blanks does not have impact on the max_length attribute.

If I am not mistaken, only the trailing blanks are chopped.

From the DBI documentation:

ChopBlanks

Type: boolean, inherited

The ChopBlanks attribute can be used to control the trimming of trailing space characters from fixed width character (CHAR) fields. No other field types are affected, even where field values have trailing spaces.

Maybe you could mention that the DBD::mysql ChopBlanks affects also text data types which are not CHAR.
