Hmmm, I'm not sure whether to give you a fish or a fishing rod.
The fish is:

    $string =~ s/ +$//;

But, more usefully, the fishing rod is:

    Learning Perl, 3rd edition
    http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lperl3/

or:

    The site for people learning Perl
    http://learn.perl.org/

or even:

    Online Perl documentation
    http://www.perldoc.com/
