Hi stevieb,
Yes I think I get the point :) But consider another example, a sub routine is
called with three references. A scalar reference, a hash refernece,
and an array reference. Here is an example of a corresponding sub
definition:
sub func {
my ( $str, $desktop_info, $files ) = @_; #sref, href, aref
...
}
In this case your end-of-line comment could work. But would it not
be better if the comment could be avoided? If the variable names were
self-documenting there would be no need for the comment. And the code
should be easier to maintain. If you change the arguments to
func you do not need to also remember to update the comment:
sub func {
my ( $str->$, $desktop_info->%, $files->@ ) = @_;
...
}

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).
