in reply to Find & Replace

you can also try this:
while (<DATA>) {
    s{(?:(?<=23,)|(?<=bye,)),+}{};
    print;
}

__DATA__
Hello,World,23,,,,
test,test,test
test,test,test
test,test,test
test,test,test
end,bye,,,,

    Moving the ,+ outside of the alternation also works.

    while (<DATA>) {
    s{(?:(?<=23,)|(?<=bye,)),+}{};
    print;
}
