Re^2: What Is the Purpose of a Line with only Two Semi-Colons?

Agree, I double the semicolons normally in lisp and often the # in perl. Just in case I delete one of them by mistake.

It seems that this is not an obvious error in perl in any case, bad style maybe, but no harm

perl -Mdiagnostics -Mstrict -Mwarnings -e 'print "ok\n";;;;;;'
ok

> I double the semicolons normally in lisp In LISP it's more than just personal taste see Comments tips but could be that it's mainly an emacs thing. update Apparently a convention for all dialects, not only emacs LISP commenting convention Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply]
