Filter::Comments::C - Perl extension to allow programmers to use C-style comments in their Perl code

NAME

Filter::Comments::C - Perl extension to allow programmers to use C-style comments in their Perl code

SYNOPSIS

  use Filter::Comments::C;

DESCRIPTION

Allows programmers to use the commenting style of the C programming language; /* and */. It provides an easy way to comment out or enable debug code. The delimiters may appear anywhere on a the line.

An example... Without Filter::Comments::C (code block commented out):

  ## START DEBUG CODE
  #print "Reported Date: $date\n";
  #print "Reported Time: $time\n";
  #open LOG, ">>log.log";
  #print LOG "$date";
  #print LOG ",";
  #print LOG "$time\n";
  ## END   DEBUG CODE

With Filter::Comments::C (code block commented out):

  /* START DEBUG CODE
  print "Reported Date: $date\n";
  print "Reported Time: $time\n";
  open LOG, ">>log.log";
  print LOG "$date";
  print LOG ",";
  print LOG "$time\n";
     END   DEBUG CODE */

BUGS

This is the first release of this module. I'm sure it has some kind of bugs. Bug reports, patches, and test results are most appreciated. Thanks!
A start (/*) without an end will result in the entire file being commented out. This will be fixed in 0.02.

SUPPORT
