In this tutorial, we will learn how to write comments in Perl programming language. We will go through the different types of comments and how to use them in a program.
Comments in Perl are non-executable statements that are used to annotate the code, provide explanations, and make it more readable. They are ignored by the Perl interpreter during execution.
The syntax to define comments in Perl is:
# Single line comment
=pod
Multi-line comment
continues here
=cut
#
and continue to the end of the line.# Print Hello, World! to the console
print 'Hello, World!';
Hello, World!
=pod
and end with =cut
.=pod
Print Hello, World! to the console
This is a multi-line comment
=cut
print 'Hello, World!';
Hello, World!
