I have not been doing a lot of work on Emacs since it, like vi and vim, 
is not Posix compliant. Ctl-C, Ctl-X, Ctl-Z and Ctl-V have different 
meanings in Emacs compared to gedit (my default editor) or most other 
full-screen editors. Ironically some years ago I had no problems with 
Wordstar, another keyboard-intensive text processor with a similar 
approach as Emacs.

But I have Emacs and if that is the most efficient tool to get the work 
done, then I will certainly do it this way. Is it only the 
whitespace-cleanup command or are there others that are useful as well 
to clean up code?

Please also tell me how the pearl script indicates whitespace?

Kind regards,
