There is, as has been mentioned by John Way. However, unless you have some
requirement that you have to do it in one regex, it's better to keep them
seperate; they're more readable that way, and possibly faster (though you'd
want to benchmark it to make sure).
Please read perldoc -q 'strip blank space'.
