This is the README file for String::Strip String::Strip is an XS extension that implements four white space removal routines: StripSpace (remove all white space), StripLSpace (strip leading white space), StripTSpace (strip trailing white space), and StripLTSpace (strip leading and trailing white space). All four of these routines work directly on the input argument, rather than passing back a result. The routines tend to be roughly 30% faster than equivalent function regex code. To build and install this extension, simply enter: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install String::Strip requires perl 5.004 or greater.
