What you are doing is not commenting; you're creating POD documentation. To comment out lines in Perl, use the # character.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w print "Hello, world! \n"; # This is a comment where you # can write about what you're # doing in a particular block # so other programmers won't # be confused by your code. -----Original Message----- From: Octavian Rasnita [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 4:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Am I doing something wrong? Hi all, I use: =start; ..... =cut I use this statement to comment out more lines. However, I have seen in Lama Book that there is no block comment in Perl. I thought this statement is used to comment more lines. What is this statement used for, and is it something wrong if I use it just for commenting? Thank you.
