Even though the Perl parser sees that as Pod and ignores it, it's important to advise people that it's not proper Pod and may behave unexpectedly with some Pod parsers now or in the future. For a single paragraph (no blank lines), a Pod =for directive would work as well (though with slightly more to type.)

=for comment
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.

Thanks a ton :) I am a beginner in Perl and i use a lot of comments while learning how to use Perl.It was easy in java to add comments. But in Perl i didn't know how to add multi-lined comments. Thanks again!	[reply]
