I am currently using CGI-LIB.pl in my Perl CGI programs. &nbsp;When I retrieve values from a multi line text area it is possible that the value returned could have carriage returns in it. &nbsp;Is there anyway to examine this value and remove all carriage returns that are embedded in it ?<br />

Removing carriage returns from a string

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
