in reply to Clean a chunk of data
but it is not workingIn what way?
I made 2 changes to your assignment to $data. I used q with parens because you have a single quote inside your string (client's), and I removed the trailing whitespace (other than \n) from all of your lines. This works for me:
use warnings; use strict; my $data = q(3rd Line Support - Managed Services & Hosting Caerphilly, Wales - Circa 40k DOE + Excellent Company Benefits Permanent Posted: Wednesday, 29 May 2013 3rd Line Support - Managed Services & Hosting Role: Providing support to client's infrastructures and maintaining high ava +ilability through proactive measures Resolving complex server issues escalated by other internal department +s by administration and troubleshooting problems.
