Actually, that is not a comment. It's a piece of the manual page, and will show up when someone uses perldoc. If one insists on abusing the documentation to write comments, at least make it so that it won't show up: `=begin I_do_not_care_about_documenting This is not a comment. This is not a comment. This is not a comment. This is not a comment. This is not a comment. This is not a comment. This is not a comment. This is not a comment. This is not a comment. This is not a comment. This is not a comment. This is not a comment. =end I_do_not_care_about_documenting` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
