Hi Monks. Does anyone know if I can write comments in Perl without opening each line with #. For example, I would like not to have to type "#" 4 times in the following code:
$paramData = &replaceParamsInString($self->{debug},$contentRequest,$pa
+ramsMLToRequest);
#A hash named $requestParams is created containing all
#the data needed for the http transaction. This data
#is then stored in $self->RequestParams, and no further data
# is needed.
my $requestParams = $self->{RequestParams};
$requestParams->{cgi_method} = $self->{method};
$requestParams->{url} = $self->{Find}->{baseUrl};
$requestParams->{httpContent} = $paramData;
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. Is there something similar in Perl?
Thanks in advance,
Guy Naamati

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
