perlquestion stephen <P>I'm interested in what subroutine commenting practices people use. I'm not interested in figuring out which is the "best", just wonder methods others use... <P>When I create a module, before each private subroutine I put a comment like so: <CODE> ## ## user_address() ## ## Arguments: ## $name: string Name of the user ## $phone: string Phone num of user ## ## Returns: string Address of user ## ## Does a database check on the given user and returns ## the address. ## sub user_address { #whatever } </CODE> <P>I always use empty parentheses on the top line, just to make it obvious from a glance that this block of comments documents a subroutine. <P>Also, whenever I have a subroutine that will be called from outside the module, I use POD, like so: <CODE> =item population() Arguments: $country: string Country code of country Returns: integer Population of country Given a country, returns the population. =cut sub population { ... </CODE> <P>My question: what do you do? I've seen a few varying styles in CPAN documentation... is there one style that you've found particularily useful, and why? <P> stephen </P>
