I know that in Java you can place a */ or something similar at the beginning and end of the comments, and then not have to start each new sentence with a star.
The first thing to realize is that you don't have to type a hash at the start of every line. (You used the word "star", but a star is this symbol: "*". A "hash" or a "pound sign" is this symbol: "#". Just so you know... :-) ) Any decent editor (and quite a few bad ones) will let you comment a block without really thinking about it. The trick is, finding an editor that you're used to. I don't really recommend learning vi (it's horrible to learn), but once you know it, things work almost without any concious effort. For example, using vi, I do this, pretty much by reflex:
You can do pretty much the same thing in Emacs, or any other editor you like. Good luck! :-) In reply to Re: Multi-line comments in perl code?
