Hi monks,

Along with programing in perl deeply, I found a strange comma in many occasions, especially in config context. for example

     use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
               $Verbose = 1;
               WriteMakefile(
                   NAME   => 'Mytest2::mylib',
                   SKIP   => [qw(all static static_lib dynamic dynamic
+_lib)],
                   clean  => {'FILES' => 'libmylib$(LIB_EXT)'},
               );

[download]
  # Configure the application
  __PACKAGE__->config(
      name => 'MyApp',
      setup_components => { except => qr/SCCS/ },
  );

I'm just curious about the last comma. As usual sense, the last item is no need to add a comma.

Hope monks could enlighten me! TIA
