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?
The author offers advice on usage of his modules: Categorized Damian Modules

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
