Rindex used to find end of a string

Hi all,
I have a sequence of strings, for instance
"Hello, World "
"My First Perl Test "
"Exit(0) "

- as you can see, the strings are all different lengths. Is there a
way to use rindex to find out the last non-whitespace character in the
string? I'd like to be able to use a general function to return
"Hello, World", "My First Perl Test" and "Exit(0).

Thanks in advance

Paul
