in thread The path to mastery

When you write any documentation you have to assume some level of information that the future reader might have on the subject. Obviously this is not only a problem with Perl.
My first comments are nearly useless to me now (or just plain stupid). But on the other hand those scribblings are self-documenting because they are that simple. Nowadays, though I am far from beeing really good, I want to include pod in my code and when I think the code may be used or reviewed by a complete novice I add comments of the redundant form.
 
I wrote I want to, but it still is an excercise in self discipline. It is far quicker to just enter a few comments.
