split whitespace help
I have a file that I am spliting and parsing, if data starts with an N/n toos it (which works) but I want it to also see if the data is blank and toss it.

What I have does not toss the blank space for dduck????

here is the data file and code I have.....

efudd 7546
bbunny N0542
tdevil 6666
dduck
mmouse 8888

Code:
open OUTER_HANDLE,"userids" or die "$!:$?";
while (<OUTER_HANDLE>) {
        my @userData = split;
        # print "DEBUG: Start... Number is [ $userData[1] ]\n";
        if ( ! ($userData[1] =~ /[n|N]/)
        or ! ($userData[1] =~ /\s/) ) {
               # print "DEBUG: userData[0] : [$userData[0]]\n";
               # print "DEBUG: userData[1] : [$userData[1]]\n";
                ripItOut( $userData[0], $userData[1] );
        }
}

close OUTER_HANDLE;

The usernames and numbers get printed out later on in the script. bbunny gets ignored as expected, but dduck prints out.
Thanks for any input.
