I had assumed that your example was illustrative, and not necessarily the actual code involved. If, however, that were the actual code, of course I might just remove that comment! Too trivial to clutter my space with! There have been times, however, that I intended to share a piece of code with a friend who was learning how to code in Perl. Those are the times when something that trivial might have gotten into the code with purpose. So, I guess, it depends. Bad answer, I know, but in real life, context is everything. It's important to know first the reason the comment had been entered there.
