in thread What esteemed monks think about changes necessary/desirable in Perl 7 outside of OO staff
No elegant alternative. As I showed in the benchmark, this works fine:
sub splt{split" ",reverse((split" ",(reverse$x),1)[0]),1;};
To be honest, i all the years that I "do" Perl (since perl-4.016), I have never seen anyone using split to trim leading (or trailing) whitespace.
Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
