in reply to Multiline comments

It's time for @#$! multiline comments in perl!

Yeah yeah, I know ...

  • use 'here docs' (poor option)
  • use 'POD' (interferes with docs and no indenting)
  • use 'ACME::Comment' (requires module install rights)
  • use the 'q' operator (unsuitable for serious use)

q`<!-- --------------------------- <region-function_docs> main: - name : DoFoo desc : do some foo usage: DoFoo($optional_greeting); </region-function_docs> --------------------------- -->`if(000); sub DoFoo{ my $optional_greeting = shift || 'Hello World'; print "$optional_greeting\n"; print "we are now doing foo\n"; print "\n"; }###end_sub

So just write your code like that and problem (solved?).

Update: this workaround option parses free of warnings and errors, but is unsuitable for serious use in perl.
