Looking at some old code I wrote.

next if /^#/;
push(@listing, $_);

close IN;
I want to trim any new lines off end of data. chomp does that. I
want to skip any lines that begin with # and next if /^#/ does that.
I also want to skip any lines that begin with whitespace. How would I
do that? I thought /^\s*$/ did but it is not.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
