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

20 Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regexp::Common.
21
22 $RE{ws}{crop}
23 Returns a pattern that identifies leading or trailing whitespace.
24
25 For example:
26
27 $str =~ s/$RE{ws}{crop}//g; # Delete surrounding whitespace
28
29 The call:
30
31 $RE{ws}{crop}->subs($str);
32
33 is optimized (but probably still slower than doing the s///g
34 explicitly).
35
36 This pattern does not capture under "-keep".
