Just decide to change in-place, based on the defined-ness of wantarray.
sub trim {
no warnings 'uninitialized';
if ( defined wantarray ) {
# need to return scalar / list
my @values= @_;
s#^\s+##s, s#\s+$##s foreach @values;
return wantarray ? @values : $values[0];
}
# need to change in-place
s#^\s+##s, s#\s+$##s foreach @_;
return;
} #trim
