in thread getting more from __DATA__
What if "if first character of the line is semi-colon, then ignore" is a valid syntax in the embedded text?
Thats what I meant by being tricky - any special syntax you create on top, could interfere with whats embedded inside. Then you need an escape mechanism...which is a drag to implement for both author and user :-).
Commenting would be useful, but I cant really think of another way to avoid that catch 22?
