I normally go town the left hand of the code and delete-tab back EACH 
line until it is flush against the left margin. Then I tab this line of 
code in order to place it back in the correct horizontal position. Then 
I go down the right hand side of the code checking each line to see 
there is no space at the end of the line. White space is difficult to 
see, so I may perhaps indulge in an oversight here and there but I 
really try to do this consistently.

With respect to comments with code on the left of a line and a comment 
line in the right hand part, its more difficult, since I usually space 
the comments so that the right-hand comments on different lines are 
aligned in order to facilitate easy reading. So these middle-of-the line 
white space may comprise both tabs and spaces.

I have run code through the pearl script but it just gave me back what I 
fed into it. Maybe I do not know what to look for?? Unfortunately I do 
not have the original code of the second stage CCR patch any more (I am 
already one step further).

Here is the start of the pearl script output for my mast patch (Part 3 
of the CCR code):

Looks like there are 3 places of interest, but I have no idea where they 
may be.
Any hints about grater white-space efficiency would be highly appreciated.
Kind regards,
