What I’d do differently now: at least this:
sub trim2 {
return trim2 $_ if not @_;
return map { s/^\s+//; s/\s+$//; $_ } my @c = @_
if defined wantarray;
for ( @_ ) { s/^\s+//, s/\s+$// }
}
And someone who can be bothered should benchmark the following variants:
sub trim3a {
return trim3a $_ if not @_;
s/^\s+//, s/\s+$// for
wantarray ? my @c = @_ :
defined wantarray ? my $c = $_[-1] :
@_;
@c ? @c : $c ? $c : ();
}
sub trim3b {
return trim3b $_ if not @_;
my $w = wantarray;
s/^\s+//, s/\s+$// for
$w ? my @c = @_ :
defined $w ? my $c = $_[-1] :
@_;
@c ? @c : $c ? $c : ();
}
Makeshifts last the longest.

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).
