comment on

Why most of the CPAN/core modules lacks comments(definitely it has man pages)?. Any particular reason for it.
The reason for asking this question is, as and when I use a subroutine from an external module(can be core module or downloaded from CPAN), I would go and see how the subroutine was implemented in the code by the author, to get to know the good/efficient practices, but many a times because of lack of comments I have gone to other modes like using a debugger, copying only that subroutine and putting some debug messages to it, etc. It would be excellent if it comes with sufficient comments(from a learner point of view).
I believe that I have asked nothing wrong here.

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).
