I am reading "learning perl" but have not proceeded to regex chapters. I googled and got to know hot to delete preceding white space. but now the problem is that there is an odd dot at the beginning... I don't know how to write the pattern in s/pattern//, so a regex for that will do. Sorry if it sounds stupid, anyway, Thanks for the help!
