in reply to Another commenting question,

browsing through some of my code, I see mainly 2 types of comments :
  1. Title Related
    • who wrote what when for who.
    • what's this variable do?
    • what about these subs?
  2. Explanatory
    • Delve into methodologies :"you may think that &foo() is the way to go, but I (boo) chose to use &bar() because ..."
    • Regexps and tricky blocks : "this replaces any space or tab with  ", etc.
    • Warnings : "this might look like the regexp is terminating, but since it's a multiliner, and in the middle of a \Q block, it really is just a /. The regexp ends on nnn"
I make it a point to review comments and code on Friday afternoons, so my code is pretty well documented.
