Re: Multiline comment in Perl

Hi,

Perl doesn't have a multiline comment mark.

You can use perldoc marks in order to comment what you want, or include the 
content in a string, like:

Perldoc style:

=start
Here
are the
lines you
want to comment
=cut

Or using a string:

q/
Here are
the
lines you
want to comment
/;

The program will work fine, but in the second example, if you use

use warnings;

it will tell you that you used this string in a void context.
If you don't like the warning, you could use:

my $zzz = q/
...
/;

The first way is prefered, but the second way allows you to comment one line 
or more lines using the same syntax.
