There is an old saying. Give a man a fish and feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish and feed him for a life time. Instead of us just
telling you a regexp to do it, you should really learn regexps since
they are what perl is all about. I highly recommend O'Reillys
"Mastering Regular Expressions" by Jeffrey Friedl. But, any good perl
book will at least touch base about Regexps.
Anyway, there are a few ways you can do it. First is to use the built
in function chomp(). It removes new line chars from the end of a
string. The other way you could do it is with a regexp. Something
like:
$foo =~ s/\s$//;
I'm guessing since you are using a textarea you will run into the
wonderful \r characters (Carriage Returns). The above should snag them.
As should chomp.
Hope this helps you. :o)
