Re: [MacPerl] Commenting blocks of code

[Matt Morse <matt@apple.com>]

BBEdit provides an Un/Comment command in its Tools menu -- at least in version
5.1.  That's what I use and find it very convenient.  It also provides an
Un/Comment Settings command to let you specify the comment marker for each
type of programming language.

For features not supported in the Tools menu, you can easily add them by
dropping a script in BBEdit's Perl Filters folder.  For example, this one
chops the first four spaces from a line:

#!perl -p
# remove 4 spaces at start of line

s/^\s{4}//;
