Converting a text file with irregular spacing into a space delimited text file?
I have a text file with irregular spacing between values which makes it really difficult to manipulate. Is there an easy way to convert it into a space delimited text file so that all the spaces, double spaces, triple spaces, tabs between numbers are converted into spaces. The file looks like this:

version::next
Version::Next(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Version::Next(3pm)NAME
Version::Next - increment module version numbers simply and correctly
VERSION
version 0.002
SYNOPSIS
use Version::Next;
my $new_version = next_version( $old_version );
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a simple, correct way to increment a Perl module version number. It does not attempt to guess what the original
version number author intended, it simply increments in the smallest possible fashion. Decimals are incremented like an odometer. Dotted
decimals are incremented piecewise and presented in a standardized way.
If more complex version manipulation is necessary, you may wish to consider Perl::Version.
USAGE
This module uses Sub::Exporter for optional exporting. Nothing is exported by default.
"next_version"
my $new_version = next_version( $old_version );
Given a string, this function make the smallest logical increment and returns it. The input string is very minimally checked that it
resembles a version number. Given "undef", the function returns 0.
Decimal versions are incremented like an odometer, preserving the original number of decimal places. If an underscore is present
(indicating an "alpha" version), its relative position is preserved. Examples:
0.001 -> 0.002
0.999 -> 1.000
0.1229 -> 0.1230
0.12_34 -> 0.12_35
0.12_99 -> 0.13_00
Dotted-decimal versions have the least significant element incremented by one. If the result exceeds 999, the element resets to 0 and the
next most significant element is incremented, and so on. Any leading zero padding is removed. Examples:
v1.2.3 -> v1.2.4
v1.2.999 -> v1.3.0
v1.999.999 -> v2.0.0
v1.2.3_4 -> v1.2.3_5
v1.2.3_999 -> v1.2.4_0
