Thanks for the pointer to Acme::Comments! As for Perl 6, from what I have noticed there are a few ways to do multiline comments. Check out Synopsis 2 [perl.org].

  I think Perl6 should ditch # as a comment altogether. I much prefer the way OCaml does it:
  
  (* single line *) (* This is a multi-line *)
  
  Of course, with the Acme::Comment module I can set the comment as Bliss or Beta and get the same thing.

    Travesty.
