Ignore linebreaks in Strings

Is it possible to tell Perl to ignore linebreaks in Strings?

I need linebreaks for formatting reasons as I have very long strings.

E.g.

print "hello 
world"

shall give

hello world

and not

hello
world

1. Using concatenation

print "hello ". "world";

2. By sending multiple arguments to print function

print ("hello ", "world");

Try it on codepad.

You can pass multiple strings to print instead of one big one:

print "hello", "world";

Assuming of course that you haven't been messing around with $, and that you're really using print.

Concatenate your strings

print "hello"
    . "world";
