in reply to Comment blocks & private methods

Yes I did see some info in various forums, but not so much for

[private]..

I'm not sure what you mean by *search the archives*, unless that is a psudeonym for *super-search* which is all I see as a selection.

SOME DAY I hope I JUST get an answer here, instead of "you're wrong to even ask this question, but....". Now the LINK - THAT was helpful thanks!

Cheers..

    Of course, lots of people would rather someone gave them a fish than teach them to fish. That is short-termism in a nutshell and causes problems which stretch far beyond these hallowed halls.

    yeah maybe you are right and I should simply stop answering questions which expect ME to do the searching ...

    super search points you to http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en&as_sitesearch=www.perlmonks.org

    please explain whats wrong with the queries "multi-line comment" and "private methods".

    The better the question the better the answer.

    I used to feel that way too, then later on (hindsight's 20-20 right?) I realized that the lack of hand-holding here made me *much* stronger in perl than I was before. Rather than having the answer spoon-fed to me, I had to figure it out (and even moreso here than other forum sites I think) and in the end it makes a much better coder out of you.

    Either way, I hope you found a viable solution.
      There is no problem asking old questions again, but some are interested to know why the old answers failed.

      Cheers Rolf
