jesuashok has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi monks,
#!/usr/bin/perl my @list = qw( "a" , # comment "b" , # another comment ); print "val :$_:\n" foreach @list;

when you run the above code all are getting printed. why the perl does not understand the comment inside qw()

I am interested to know what is happening inside. Please explain me in code point if View.

Thanx in advance ...
