how to ignore spaces, commas or new line of an array when comparing

[noviceuser]

I am trying to compare two arrays which may have strings/elements separated by newline, spaces or comma, how can i ignore those special characters while comparing

e.g: suppose @array1 has contents like below

abc xyz

and @array2 has contents like below

abc
 xyz

my $comp = Array::Compare->new;
    if ($comp->compare(\@array1, \@array2)) {
      print "array same\n";
    }
    else {
      print "array not same\n";
    }
