Re: how to chomp or trim extra characters like \n ,white spaces in text area using template toolkit

You can either use pre/post-chomping in your directives, as in:

[% FOREACH option = element.value %]
[%- option -%]
[% END %]
# this is equivalent to writing those three directives on a single lin
+e:
# [% FOREACH option = element.value %][% option %][% END %]

or you can use global options when you create your new Template object if you want such a behaviour applied everywhere:

my $template = Template->new(
    {
        PRE_CHOMP    => 1,
        POST_CHOMP   => 1,
    }
);

You can read more about those options in the Template::Manual::Config doc.
