Yes, you can do s/^\s+|\s+$//g but it is definaly not optimized. It is generally preferred to use the two regexes, since it is roughly 3 times faster:
use Benchmark;
my $val = " Smart Way ";
timethese(1000000, {
regex1 => sub {
my $tmp = $val;
$tmp =~ s/^\s+|\s+$//g;
},
regex2 => sub {
my $tmp = $val;
$tmp =~ s/^\s+//;
$tmp =~ s/\s+$//;
}
});
Results:
Benchmark: timing 1000000 iterations of regex1, regex2...
regex1: 9 wallclock secs ( 6.43 usr + 0.02 sys = 6.45 CPU)
@ 155038.76/s (n=1000000)
regex2: 2 wallclock secs ( 2.65 usr + 0.00 sys = 2.65 CPU)
@ 377358.49/s (n=1000000)

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).
