Hello,

I'm interested to see some code header designs that folks are happy with. The standard code header we currently use at my development firm includes places for the Title, Version, Description, 4 lines of copyright notice and contact info, 17 lines of GPL declaration, as well as room for a modification history. So it's about 40 lines total with the modification history is empty, and it grows from there. This is all information that seems worth tracking, but it seems like there is a "better way"-- something captures the interesting information, but in less space perl file.

It seems like so reasonable options include pointing people to central document for more information, and depending on CVS to store and generate some of this information.

So if you've got a code header system you're happy with, I'm interested to hear a description or "screen shot". Thanks!
