You can also use a single-quoted heredoc for this...

<<'WONKYCODE';
  print "This code isn't technically "commented out" per se;
     rather, it is interpreted as a string.
     However, it won't execute, and because of the single
     quotes it also won't interpolate.  Assuming that the
     code you treat this way is an entire expression (not
     part of one), the string will be in void context and
     so will have no effect, other than to remind you
     that it's still here with a 'useless use of constant 
     in void context' warning.\n";

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.
