If you're skiled with Perl, any reason why you can't write a script (a Perl script, of course) to use a regex to strip out comments from your other Perl script?

That's beside the points that were mentioned above, of course, but why would you bother putting comments in the script in the first place? Why are comments a problem in "compiled" code? How is your Perl going to be compiled within .NET?

If this is something that you plan on doing more than a couple times (stripping comments out of a Perl script), I recommend a commentstrip.pl script that you can run on anything and everything that ends in .pl.
