Replace trailing whitespaces with pipe symbol using perl

I want to replace the whitespace with Pipe symbol to do a multiple pattern matching for the whole text "mysqld failed start" and same as for other text messages Below are the messages stored in a file seperate by whitespace

Code:
mysqld failed start 
nfsd mount failed 
rpcbind failed to start

for each text i need to add the pipe symbol so that it will be easier to do mutliple search pattern similar to egrep.

expected o/p

Code:
mysqld failed start|nfsd mount failed|rpcbind failed to start
