Acme::Comment problem

robertw has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

use Acme::Comment type=>'B', own_line=>1;
@userinput= <STDIN>
/*


#my @a = (
"2-S","3-S","4-S","5-S","6-S","7-S","8-S","9-S","10-S","11-S","1

my @a = (

@n = ("2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","T","J","Q","K","A");

getallcombos.pl:27: Array found where operator expected at end of line getallcombos.pl:27: syntax error near "@n "

I got these errors because of the */ not being fully recognized as a comment indicator. Everything before is commented, however the */ prevents the rest of the code from being succesfully executed, what can i do about this?

So let's say you take the snippet you posted above; all 25 lines. Add that semicolon after `<STDIN>`, and then execute the code. That exact snippet (with the semicolon fixed) fails for you? I have to ask, because I tried just that; I downloaded your code, fixed the semicolon, and gave it a spin. It worked fine. I'm unable to duplicate the error message you're identifying when I run your code. Dave	[reply] [d/l]

@userinput= <STDIN> You have a missing semicolon. What happens if you add it? `@userinput= <STDIN>; # ^ # --------` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
