It might be useful to skip blank lines (or lines that just contain comments) like the real qw():
sub qwx {
local $_ = @_ ? $_[0] : $_;
s/[#].*$//mg;
s/^\s+//;
s/\s+$//;
s/\s+/ /g;
return split ' ', $text;
}
Also, you could tweak the appearance of caller a little as follows:
my @items = qwx"
this
is # possibly
a # commented
list
";
Single quote won't work without a space before it.

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).
