Thanks, Wiggins, and keep on rambling. The point needs reiteration. Aside from the needle-in-a-haystack problems, I'd say that it's a good rule of thumb: If you have to specifically assign $_, don't bother.

If sufficiently understated, it may reassure an interviewer or screener that they are not wasting time: Codes samples included [all compiled using strict compilation option and pre-tested] Which at least indicates to the reader that they are looking at something which has run successfully. Definitely not something to wave a big flag over, though--it would be like listing: Have mastered ABCs ...at the top of a resume for an English professorship.
