Perl match pattern

Hi all,

i have a peice of Perl script like this:
Code:
 foreach (@line) {
                @tmp = split /;/,$_;
                #print "Line is: $_\n";
                switch($tmp[3]){
                                case m/p60/i {
                                push @p60, [ $tmp[1], $tmp[4] ];
                                }

I want to match the string "p60" even if it was written with any whitespaces, for example: "p 60", or "p 60" etc...
Is there any way to add this feature of deleting whitespaces at "case m/........."??

Thank you in advance!!
Ervin

what about the below ?

in the switch, you are checking only one pattern. so no need of switch

Code:
push @p60, [ $tmp[1], $tmp[4] ] if ($tmp[3]=~m/\s*p\s*6\s*0/i)
