in vi there's always
:.,+100s/^/# /
but if your editor doesn't have legacy command line editing capability, a decent
way to comment out a block of syntactically correct perl code is to
enclose it in
if(0){
...
};
another possibility is to enclose it in a HEREIS block
<<COMMENT;
...
...
COMMENT
if you're not comfortable with the "constant in void" warning that produces,
you can make it appear to the parser to do something, like so
sub IgnoreThis($){0};
...
IgnoreThis <<COMMENT;
...
...
COMMENT
There's also Acme::Comment, on CPAN, which uses a source filter to
emulate all commentting styles known (or made known) to the author.
