in reply to Multi-line comments in perl code?

Hello mrguy123,

With emacs you can do

# A long comment which I would rather have on multiple lines

and then do

M-x fill-paragraph

(which is often bound to M-q) to automagically get

# A long comment which I would rather # have on multiple lines

the position of the line break depending on the setting of the variable fill-column.

So spend a few days (months, years, ...) getting your head round emacs and (then) have fun.
