My personal favorite is Smart::Comments.

use strict; use warnings; # Enable special comments for debugging and reporting: use Smart::Comments; my $data_structure = { a => [ 1, 2, 3 ], b => [ { X => 1, Y => 2 }, { X => [ 1, 2, 3 ], Y => [ 4, 5, 6 ], Z => [ 7, 8, 9 ] }, ], }; # the following is a "smart comment" which causes a dump of the expres +sion, using Data::Dumper: ### $data_structure
Produces this output:
### $data_structure: { ### a => [ ### 1, ### 2, ### 3 ### ], ### b => [ ### { ### X => 1, ### Y => 2 ### }, ### { ### X => [ ### 1, ### 2, ### 3 ### ], ### Y => [ ### 4, ### 5, ### 6 ### ], ### Z => [ ### 7, ### 8, ### 9 ### ] ### } ### ] ### }

Smart::Comments does much, much more than this, too.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
