How many time have you been working on some code and wanted to comment out a section of it to test specific code components?

Often.

q{ ...; ...; };
Perl will optimize this away, so there's no execution speed involved. Probably the best thing about this is that many color highlighting editors will mark this as a string (which it is), so you can see that it's something not-normal. BEGIN blocks are not BEGIN blocks anymore, they are just part of the never-executed string. It doesn't do any syntax checking (well, you do have to balance your {}'s, or have to choose other delimiters).

Update (Aug 15 2002):

15:07 <@kane_> juerd: it looks elegant, but wanrs =) 15:07 <@Juerd> kane_: I know, but it's perfect for development code. T +he warning is a good reminder, too 15:08 <@Juerd> I can't believe I didn't say anything about warnings in + that post... 15:12 <@Juerd> kane_: Hmmm... use Acme::Comment qw/start q{ end };/ wo +uld work, wouldn't it? :)

- Yes, I reinvent wheels.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
