I love Smart::Comments! Basically, it requires you to write debug comments like this:

sub foo { ### entering foo my $x = shift; ### x: $x return $x + 1; } ### starting... my $y = foo(42); ### y: $y ### finish exit;

As you can see, they're just simple comments, until you use Smart::Comments, when they'll magically print the following output to STDERR:

### starting... ### entering foo ### x: 42 ### y: 43 ### finish

The best part is that, when you disable Smart::Comments, they will sit quietly there -- just like comments they are -- documenting your code, but not being executed.

Simple, useful... smart!!! :)
