perldoc is software that generally is installed with perl.
perldoc.com has the same information, but doesn't have a way to use the
flags that the software version has.

Hi,
One part of my script ads several strings into one:
$text = $part1.$part2.$part3.(...etc)
However, if the part3 through part10 were empty I get that many white spaces
at the end of $text. I thought the best thing would be just to remove the
spaces at the end, but how? (maybe search and r
Has anyone used the whitespace module. I downloaded it from CPAN but I
couldn't get it to work for me at all.

Hey david,
this regexp will do the trick for you:
$_ = '[EMAIL PROTECTED] (mike smith)';
s/^\s+|\s+$//g;
you dont need the parenthesis around it, unless you want to capture the
whitespace (which seems futile)
i'd say compiling a regexp twice would be more of a drain on system

$data =~ s/^\s+//;

Is the following regrex the correct way to remove leading or trailing white space
from a string?
$data = "[EMAIL PROTECTED] (mike smith)"
$data =~ s/(^\s+)|(\s+$)//g;
or would it be more efficient to it thus:
# two passes
$data =~ s/^\s+)//;
$data =~ s/\s+$)//;
