Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Is there any other perl modules or tools available to
remove the white space in HTML and JavaScript pages?
Thanks,
Durai

I've read the source code and looks like the module does not
implement strip_newlines. That option is certainly understood, but it
is not used AFAICT.
Note that strip_newlines is NOT documented, maybe the author is going
to do something with it in a future and left a partial and private
thing there. Since it is not documented you wouldn't rely on it,
neither expect it to do anything in particular.
In addition, a newline in itself is significant whitespace (it
renders as a space), the module is meant to remove whitespace that is
redundant.
