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". SEE ALSO
