I think the optimal way would be: my $s = 'yada yada';
That way the program won't have to trim the whitespace off the string every time it is run. In the more general case, I might do it something like: my $s = something-returning-a-string().trim; But I don't think that there really is a preferred or best practice way. This is Perl, there is more than one way to do it.
