in thread OO Inline::C - returning $self not working
If whitespace does not truly matter, how does the interpreter know when a line ends?Because its not absolutely true. 'perldoc perlsyn'
Perl is a free-form language, you can format and indent it however youupdate: perldoc perlintro'
like. Whitespace mostly serves to separate tokens, unlike languages like
Python where it is an important part of the syntax....
Text from a "#" character until the end of the line is a comment, and is
ignored. Exceptions include "#" inside a string or regular expression.
Comments start with a hash symbol and run to the end of the lineWhitespace is irrelevant:# This is a commentprint "Hello, world" ;
