Didn't see you also want to filter white space, use this to achieve the 
whole thing :

$data =~ s/[\n\r][\n\r]/<br>/g; # Filters the line breaks
$data =~ s/^\s+//;	# Filters out white space in front
$data =~ s/\s+$//;	# Filters out white space in end
$data =~ s/\s+/ /g;	# Filters out double white spaces and makes it a 
single space.


Maybe that can all be joined a little more, but this is clearer code (I 
think).

Greetz,
