Regexp::Common::whitespace -- provides a regex for leading or trailing whitescape

       Damian Conway (damian@conway.org)

       Bound to be plenty.

       For a start, there are many common regexes missing.  Send them in to regexp-common@abigail.freedom.nl.

       Please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description of the works of this interface.

       Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regexp::Common.

   "$RE{ws}{crop}"
       Returns a pattern that identifies leading or trailing whitespace.

       For example:

               $str =~ s/$RE{ws}{crop}//g;     # Delete surrounding whitespace

       The call:

               $RE{ws}{crop}->subs($str);

       is optimized (but probably still slower than doing the s///g explicitly).

       This pattern does not capture under "-keep".
