NAME

       Regexp::Common::SEN -- provide regexes for Social-Economical Numbers.

SYNOPSIS

	use Regexp::Common qw /SEN/;

	while (<>) {
	    /^$RE{SEN}{USA}{SSN}$/    and  print "Social Security Number
";
	}

DESCRIPTION

       Please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description of the works of this interface.

       Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regexp::Common.

   $RE{SEN}{USA}{SSN}{-sep}
       Returns a pattern that matches an American Social Security Number (SSN).  SSNs consist of three groups of numbers, separated by a hypen
       ("-").  This pattern only checks for a valid structure, that is, it validates whether a number is valid SSN, was a valid SSN, or maybe a
       valid SSN in the future. There are almost a billion possible SSNs, and about 400 million are in use, or have been in use.

       If "-sep=P" is specified, the pattern P is used as the separator between the groups of numbers.

       Under "-keep" (see Regexp::Common):

       $1  captures the entire SSN.

       $2  captures the first group of digits (the area number).

       $3  captures the second group of digits (the group number).

       $4  captures the third group of digits (the serial number).

NAME

       Regexp::Common::whitespace -- provides a regex for leading or trailing whitescape

SYNOPSIS

	   use Regexp::Common qw /whitespace/;

	   while (<>) {
	       s/$RE{ws}{crop}//g;	     # Delete surrounding whitespace
	   }

DESCRIPTION

       Please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description of the works of this interface.

       Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regexp::Common.

   $RE{ws}{crop}
       Returns a pattern that identifies leading or trailing whitespace.

       For example:

	       $str =~ s/$RE{ws}{crop}//g;     # Delete surrounding whitespace

       The call:

	       $RE{ws}{crop}->subs($str);

       is optimized (but probably still slower than doing the s///g explicitly).

       This pattern does not capture under "-keep".
