Hello, can you guys show me how to convert each non-alphanumeric
character in a string to a space, and then convert any number of
consecutive spaces in the string to a single space?
$text =~ s/[^[:alnum:]]/ /g;
$text =~ s/\s+/ /g;
$text =~ s/[[:^alnum:]\s]+/ /g;

Isn't \s already part of [[:^alnum:]]?

Oops, yes, I was wrong. :-)
