in thread Crash Course in POD

Monk please.

merlyn is always asking for somebody to proofread his articles -- any time I help him out I most definetly use (podchecker and) pod2html before reading them.

Yeah, inline pod is a personal style thing. I used to be like you, not liking inline pod, but now I feel its the way to go (tastes change).

And as for mod_perl, yup, I guess I should've added cause like %80 of my dealing with mod_perl are with Apache::Registry (and alikes), so I don't assume like i'm writing some handler (I assume Registry).

update: added like i'm writing -- besides, Registry is the handler I'm aiming for, not just some handler.

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests.

    This amazes me :)

    Funny... my taste changed in the opposite direction.

    Apache::Registry *is* a handler ;)

      My taste changed a couple of times in both directions :)

      Related observation: programmers who don't use editors which do POD highlighting hate inline POD as it mixes with source code. If you have decent editor like emacs it is less a problem as it clearly visually separates code from documentation.

        You mean, it colour codes your text? I hate *that*. I don't like my code to look like a christmas tree. And, IMO, colourcoding editors do not contribute to writing clear code. If you need your code to be coloured to make sense out of it, then there's something wrong with your code. Good code doesn't need colours.

        I'm different then. My editor does color pod differently, yet I still dislike inline pod. I also dislike many-line comments.
