AFAIK, \s has been introduced around version 5.10, so it might help if you could upgrade your perl (or, if it's the "system perl", use a mechanism like perlbrew…)

    HUMBUG!

    $ perl4.036 -Ilib -w -le '$_="abc de  f";s/\s+//g;print'
abcdef

    [download]

    It is just that \s is not allowed in the replacement part. What would you expect?


    Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
