There's also:
$foo =~ s/^\s*//;
and if you want to strip leading and trailing spaces:
$foo =~ s/^\s*(.*?)\s*$/$1/;
Though some say that the two step:
$foo =~ s/^\s*//;
$foo =~ s/\s*$//;
is faster. There's also a module:
String::Strip
with a function
StripLTSpace()
and it's fore and aft variants that purports to be faster than the regex
substitution. I haven't done any testing to verify performance on any of these.
