How often do you need to compress internal whitespace? Anyway. it is faster:
$ perl -MBenchmark=cmpthese -wE'my$x=join" "=>"",("abc")x5,"";say"s
+ourc: |$x|";sub trim{join" ",split" ",$x};sub rgx{$x=~s/^\s+//r=~s/\s
++$//r=~s/\s\s+/ /gr};say "split: |",trim(),"|";say"regex: |",rgx(),"|
+";cmpthese(-2,{splt=>\&trim,rgx=>\&rgx})'
sourc: | abc abc abc abc abc |
split: |abc abc abc abc abc|
regex: |abc abc abc abc abc|
Rate rgx splt
rgx 506423/s -- -71%
splt 1767763/s 249% --
Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
