In CPAN, there's an excellent module String::Strip of Dave Cross.
Look at it's function description:
DESCRIPTION
StripLTSpace - Removes Leading and Trailing spaces from given string
StripTSpace - Removes Trailing spaces from given string
StripLSpace - Removes Leading spaces from given string
StripSpace - Removes all spaces from given string
I do these things often, and these routines tend to be about 35% faster
than the corresponding regex methods.
