TMTOWTDI,
If i'm going to comment my code (which i only do for something which others will have to see and/or maintain) than i use the following setup which i have derived from my coding experiences: ##
# Function: get_input
# Receives: nothing
# Returns : user input regarding previous menu, Taint checked and chom
+ped.
# Notes : none
##
The notes area will explain any code that isn't self-documenting before one gets to the code. The "receives" and "returns" sections detail what will be set up before and after the function runs (pre/post-conditions). However, due to my idiosyncracies, they are usually pragmatic pre/post-conditions, not solid theoretical ones. When the code is written well it's only four lines. When it's not i'll have huge sections describing what's going on, which is usually when i decide to re-write it :-)
Anyway, there's another $0.02 for your hat,
jynx

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
