I am a huge fan of Smart::Comments, to the point where it astonishes me that few Monks are
Maybe most monks are unaware of its existence. While I applaud and appreciate your testimonial, I am surprised you feel the strong need to defend the module. As a daily participant here at the Monastery for the last 2+ years, I am unaware of a negative concensus opinion of the module.
Everyone who's ever written a line of Perl code knows about the built-in print function. Every experienced Perl hacker knows about the core Data::Dumper module. First, you have to find out about Smart::Comments. Then you must download/install the CPAN module -- a minor, but real, barrier to usage for some people.
It's a TheDamian module.
Is that merely an ad hominem attack? Or is his track record so bad that one presumes his stuff will eventually blow up?

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).
