in thread What makes a comment "obnoxious"?
Your subs should be separated by meaningful comments that detail what the function does, what it expects as arguments, and what it returns
Or (even better!)
- The function name should reveal what the function does. If it doesn't change it.
- The name of the vars you rip out of @_ should reveal what the function takes. If they don't change them.
- The name of the variable you a return() should reveal what is being returned. If it doesn't update it.
(guess who is thoroughly sick of lying comments in legacy code :-)
