NAME

6       Regexp::Common::whitespace -- provides a regex for leading or trailing
7       whitescape
8

SYNOPSIS

10           use Regexp::Common qw /whitespace/;
11
12           while (<>) {
13               s/$RE{ws}{crop}//g;           # Delete surrounding whitespace
14           }
15

DESCRIPTION

17       Please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description
18       of the works of this interface.
19
20       Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regexp::Common.
21
22       $RE{ws}{crop}
23
24       Returns a pattern that identifies leading or trailing whitespace.
25
26       For example:
27
28               $str =~ s/$RE{ws}{crop}//g;     # Delete surrounding whitespace
29
30       The call:
31
32               $RE{ws}{crop}->subs($str);
33
34       is optimized (but probably still slower than doing the s///g explic‐
35       itly).
36
37       This pattern does not capture under "-keep".

51        The whole world understands RCS/CVS version numbers, that 1.9 is an
52        older version than 1.10. Except CPAN. Curse the idiot(s) who think
53        that version numbers are floats (in which universe do floats have
54        more than one decimal dot?).
55        Everything is bumped to version 2.100 because CPAN couldn't deal
56        with the fact one file had version 1.10.
