Isn't it quite consisten with the default handling of # in all the other quote like operators. Neither tr/// nor qx// have any special handling making '#' used for comments.

The only exception is that you can explicitly turn some sort of whitespace and comment handling on for regexpes. //MakholmThread Previous | Thread Next
