Strange whitespace

I think this mysterious whitespace is why my query is failing. The below
code displays

| BS | instead of the expected |BS|

I can't tell where these spaces are coming from and I can't get rid of
them. I use the pipe characters to make spaces easier to spot.

[tmp ol_sku_test]BS-12345[/tmp]

[tmp sku_prefix2]
[perl]
my $ol_sku_test = "[scratch ol_sku_test]";
my @sku_array = split('-', $ol_sku_test);
return "@sku_array[0]";
[/perl]
[/tmp]

|[scratch sku_prefix2]|

Any thoughts are welcome!

That's because [tmp sku_prefix2]...[tmp] includes the new lines around
the [perl]

Try this:

[tmp sku_prefix2][perl]
my $ol_sku_test = "[scratch ol_sku_test]";
my @sku_array = split('-', $ol_sku_test);
return "@sku_array[0]";
[/perl][/tmp]

|[scratch sku_prefix2]|

Thanks that was indeed the issue. I guess I did not expect newlines to
magically become spaces, and for some reason I could not filter them
out. Also thanks to Racke - his quoting advise was of course correct.

I would unleash the whole [perl] power instead of brewing a ITL/[perl] concoction :-)

[perl]
my @sku_array = split('-', $Scratch->{ol_sku_test});
$Tag->tmp(sku_prefix2 => $sku_array[0]);
return;
[/perl]
