My lack of drinks and too much Perl SB> work had me thinking that I've done that before ;) you may have been confused with things like /x extended mode in regexes which do allow comments. or regular lists of strings which also can have comments. none of the quoted things (except for qr// with /x) can have comments as perl is looking only for text or tokens (in the case of qw) and the closing delimiter. otherwise how could perl tell when the text that looks like a comment is one or is part of the text? uri -- Uri Guttman ------ u...@stemsystems.com -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
