If you're certain that the last character is a space:

         chop $HASH{$key};

If it might not be a space, and you only want to get rid of the last 
character if it is a space:

         $HASH{$key} =~ s/ $//;

You're using "match" to mean something that is evidently different from 
what we're used to it meaning in Perl.  Hopefully the above answers do what 
you want anyway.
