In a previous life I wrote many, many lines of Informix-4gl. Over the years I found myself migrating towards the
descriptive variable/descriptive sub style of commenting.
As I've started learning Perl I've found myself adding lots of one liners that explain how things work. Most experienced Perl folks would probably find these redundant, but I'm still in the baby code stage and I need the reminders. As I develop my perl instincts, I hope to eliminate the one liners and go back to descriptive variable/descriptive sub.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
