Re: TRIM in Perl?

[charnos]

Since with all the suggestions here we're just eliminating all spaces in the string, wouldn't simple transliteration ($temp =~ tr/ //d;) be faster/simpler?

Update: EEK! *bangs head* Nevermind, I retract that, $temp =~ s/^\s+|\s$/ would be the best way to do it.

Where did you see "all suggestions [..] just eliminating all spaces"? None of them do.
