           use Regexp::Common qw /comment/;

           while (<>) {
               /$RE{comment}{C}/       and  print "Contains a C comment\n";
               /$RE{comment}{C++}/     and  print "Contains a C++ comment\n";
               /$RE{comment}{PHP}/     and  print "Contains a PHP comment\n";
               /$RE{comment}{Java}/    and  print "Contains a Java comment\n";

           }

           use Regexp::Common qw /comment RE_comment_HTML/;

           while (<>) {
               $_ =~ RE_comment_HTML() and  print "Contains an HTML comment\n";
           }

DESCRIPTION
       Please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description of the works of this interface.

       Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regexp::Common.

       This modules gives you regular expressions for comments in various languages.

   THE LANGUAGES
       Below, the comments of each of the languages are described.  The patterns are available as
       $RE{comment}{LANG}, foreach language LANG. Some languages have variants; it's described at the
       individual languages how to get the patterns for the variants.  Unless mentioned otherwise, "{-keep}"
       sets $1, $2, $3 and $4 to the entire comment, the opening marker, the content of the comment, and the
       closing marker (for many languages, the latter is a newline) respectively.

       ABC Comments in ABC start with a backslash ("\"), and last till the end of the line.  See
           <http://homepages.cwi.nl/%7Esteven/abc/>.

       Ada Comments in Ada start with "--", and last till the end of the line.

       Advisor
           Advisor is a language used by the HP product glance. Comments for this language start with either
           "#" or "//", and last till the end of the line.

       Advsys
           Comments for the Advsys language start with ";" and last till the end of the line. See also
           <http://www.wurb.com/if/devsys/12>.

       Alan
           Alan comments start with "--", and last till the end of the line.  See also
           <http://w1.132.telia.com/~u13207378/alan/manual/alanTOC.html>.

       Algol 60
           Comments in the Algol 6_ language start with the keyword "comment", and end with a ";". See
           <http://www.masswerk.at/algol60/report.htm>.

       Algol 68
           In Algol 68, comments are either delimited by "#", or by one of the keywords "co" or "comment".
           The keywords should not be part of another word. See
           http://westein.arb-phys.uni-dortmund.de/~wb/a68s.txt <http://westein .arb-phys.uni-
           dortmund.de/~wb/a68s.txt>.  With "{-keep}", only $1 will be set, returning the entire comment.

       ALPACA
           The ALPACA language has comments starting with "/*" and ending with "*/".

       awk The awk programming language uses comments that start with "#" and end at the end of the line.

       B   The B language has comments starting with "/*" and ending with "*/".

       BASIC
           There are various forms of BASIC around. Currently, we only support the variant supported by
           mvEnterprise, whose pattern is available as $RE{comment}{BASIC}{mvEnterprise}. Comments in this
           language start with a "!", a "*" or the keyword "REM", and end till the end of the line. See
           <http://www.rainingdata.com/products/beta/docs/mve/50/ReferenceManual/Basic.pdf>.

       Beatnik
           The esotoric language Beatnik only uses words consisting of letters.  Words are scored according
           to the rules of Scrabble. Words scoring less than 5 points, or 18 points or more are considered
           comments (although the compiler might mock at you if you score less than 5 points).  Regardless
           whether "{-keep}", $1 will be set, and set to the entire comment. This pattern requires perl
           5.8._ or newer.

       beta-Juliet
           The beta-Juliet programming language has comments that start with "//" and that continue till the
           end of the line. See also http://www.catseye.mb.ca/esoteric/b-juliet/index.html

           "<?c_", and ending with "c_?>".  See <http://www.livejournal.com/doc/server/bml.index.html>.

       Brainfuck
           The minimal language Brainfuck uses only eight characters, "<", ">", "[", "]", "+", "-", "." and
           ",".  Any other characters are considered comments. With "{-keep}", $1 is set to the entire
           comment.

       C   The C language has comments starting with "/*" and ending with "*/".

       C-- The C-- language has comments starting with "/*" and ending with "*/".  See

           <http://www.pmg.lcs.mit.edu/CLU.html>.

       COBOL
           Traditionally, comments in COBOL are indicated by an asteriks in the seventh column. This is what
           the pattern matches. Modern compiler may more lenient though. See
           <http://www.csis.ul.ie/cobol/Course/COBOLIntro.htm>, and
           <http://www.csis.ul.ie/cobol/default.htm>. Due to a bug in the regexp engine of perl 5.6.x, this
           regexp is only available in version 5.8.0 and up.

       CQL Comments in the chess query language (CQL) start with a semi colon (";") and last till the end of
           the line. See <http://www.rbnn.com/cql/>.

       Crystal Report
           The formula editor in Crystal Reports uses comments that start with "//", and end with the end of
           the line.

       Dylan
           There are two types of comments in Dylan. They either start with "//", or are nested comments,
           delimited with "/*" and "*/".  Under "{-keep}", only $1 will be set, returning the entire
           comment.  This pattern requires perl 5.6._ or newer.

       ECMAScript
           The ECMAScript language has two forms of comments. Comments that start with "//" and last till
           the end of the line, and comments that start with "/*", and end with "*/". If "{-keep}" is used,
           only $1 will be set, and set to the entire comment. JavaScript is Netscapes implementation of
           ECMAScript. See http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ecma-st/Ecma-262.pdf
           <http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ecma-st/Ecma-262.pdf>, and
           http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm <http://www .ecma-
           international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm>.

       Eiffel
           Eiffel comments start with "--", and last till the end of the line.

       False

       Fortran
           There are two forms of Fortran. There's free form Fortran, which has comments that start with
           "!", and end at the end of the line.  The pattern for this is given by $RE{Fortran}. Fixed form
           Fortran, which has been obsoleted, has comments that start with "C", "c" or "*" in the first
           column, or with "!" anywhere, but the sixth column.  The pattern for this are given by
           $RE{Fortran}{fixed}.

       Funge-98
           The esotoric language Funge-98 uses comments that start and end with a ";".

       fvwm2
           Configuration files for fvwm2 have comments starting with a "#" and lasting the rest of the line.

       Haifu
           Haifu, an esotoric language using haikus, has comments starting and ending with a ",".  See
           <http://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/haifu.html>.

       Haskell
           There are two types of comments in Haskell. They either start with at least two dashes, or are
           nested comments, delimited with "{-" and "-}".  Under "{-keep}", only $1 will be set, returning
           the entire comment.  This pattern requires perl 5.6._ or newer.

       HTML
           In HTML, comments only appear inside a comment declaration.  A comment declaration starts with a
           "<!", and ends with a ">". Inside this declaration, we have zero or more comments.  Comments
           starts with "--" and end with "--", and are optionally followed by whitespace. The pattern
           $RE{comment}{HTML} recognizes those comment declarations (and hence more than a comment).  Note
           that this is not the same as something that starts with "<!--" and ends with "-->", because the
           following will be matched completely:

               <!--  First  Comment   --
                 --> Second Comment <!--
                 --  Third  Comment   -->

           Do not be fooled by what your favourite browser thinks is an HTML comment.

           If "{-keep}" is used, the following are returned:

           $1  captures the entire comment declaration.

           $2  captures the MDO (markup declaration open), "<!".

           $3  captures the content between the MDO and the MDC.

           $4  captures the (last) comment, without the surrounding dashes.

           $5  captures the MDC (markup declaration close), ">".

       Hugo
           There are two types of comments in Hugo. They either start with "!" (which cannot be followed by
           a "\"), or are nested comments, delimited with "!\" and "\!".  Under "{-keep}", only $1 will be
           set, returning the entire comment.  This pattern requires perl 5.6._ or newer.

       Icon
           Icon has comments that start with "#" and end at the next new line.  See
           <http://www.toolsofcomputing.com/IconHandbook/IconHandbook.pdf>,
           <http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/index.htm>, and
           <http://burks.bton.ac.uk/burks/language/icon/index.htm>.

       ILLGOL
           The esotoric language ILLGOL uses comments starting with NB and lasting till the end of the line.
           See <http://www.catseye.mb.ca/esoteric/illgol/index.html>.

       INTERCAL
           Comments in INTERCAL are single line comments. They start with one of the keywords "NOT" or
           "N'T", and can optionally be preceeded by the keywords "DO" and "PLEASE". If both keywords are
           used, "PLEASE" preceeds "DO". Keywords are separated by whitespace.

       J   The language J uses comments that start with "NB.", and that last till the end of the line. See
           <http://www.jsoftware.com/books/help/primer/contents.htm>, and <http://www.jsoftware.com/>.

       Java
           The Java language has two forms of comments. Comments that start with "//" and last till the end
           of the line, and comments that start with "/*", and end with "*/". If "{-keep}" is used, only $1
           will be set, and set to the entire comment.

       JavaDoc
           The Javadoc documentation syntax is demarked with a subset of ordinary Java comments to separate
           it from code.  Comments start with "/**" end with "*/".  If "{-keep}" is used, only $1 will be
           set, and set to the entire comment. See
           http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-137868.html#format
           <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-137868.html#format>.

       JavaScript
           The JavaScript language has two forms of comments. Comments that start with "//" and last till
           the end of the line, and comments that start with "/*", and end with "*/". If "{-keep}" is used,
           only $1 will be set, and set to the entire comment. JavaScript is Netscapes implementation of
           ECMAScript.  See http://www.mozilla.org/js/language/E262-3.pdf
           <http://www.mozilla.org/js/language/E262-3.pdf>, and <http://www.mozilla.org/js/language/>.

       LaTeX
           The documentation language LaTeX uses comments starting with "%" and ending at the end of the
           line.

           Comments in Lisp start with a semi-colon (";") and last till the end of the line.

       LPC The LPC language has comments starting with "/*" and ending with "*/".

       LOGO
           Comments for the language LOGO start with ";", and last till the end of the line.

       lua Comments for the lua language start with "--", and last till the end of the line. See also
           <http://www.lua.org/manual/manual.html>.

       M, MUMPS
           In "M" (aka "MUMPS"), comments start with a semi-colon, and last till the end of a line. The
           language specification requires the semi-colon to be preceeded by one or more linestart
           characters.  Those characters default to a space, but that's configurable. This requirement, of
           preceeding the comment with linestart characters is not tested for. See
           <ftp://ftp.intersys.com/pub/openm/ism/ism64docs.zip>,
           <http://mtechnology.intersys.com/mproducts/openm/index.html>, and
           <http://mcenter.com/mtrc/index.html>.

       m4  By default, the preprocessor language m4 uses single line comments, that start with a "#" and
           continue to the end of the line, including the newline. The pattern "$RE {comment} {m4}" matches
           such comments.  In m4, it is possible to change the starting token though.  See
           <http://wolfram.schneider.org/bsd/7thEdManVol2/m4/m4.pdf>,

           <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/manual/>.

       Modula-2
           In "Modula-2", comments start with "(*", and end with "*)". Comments may be nested. See
           <http://www.modula2.org/>.

       Modula-3
           In "Modula-3", comments start with "(*", and end with "*)". Comments may be nested. See
           <http://www.m3.org/>.

       mutt
           Configuration files for mutt have comments starting with a "#" and lasting the rest of the line.

       Nickle
           The Nickle language has one line comments starting with "#" (like Perl), or multiline comments
           delimited by "/*" and "*/" (like C). Under "-keep", only $1 will be set. See also
           <http://www.nickle.org>.

       Oberon
           Comments in Oberon start with "(*" and end with "*)".  See
           <http://www.oberon.ethz.ch/oreport.html>.

       Pascal
           There are many implementations of Pascal. This modules provides pattern for comments of several
           implementations.

           $RE{comment}{Pascal}
               This is the pattern that recognizes comments according to the Pascal ISO standard. This
               standard says that comments start with either "{", or "(*", and end with "}" or "*)". This
               means that "{*)" and "(*}" are considered to be comments. Many Pascal applications don't
               allow this.  See http://www.pascal-central.com/docs/iso10206.txt <http://www .pascal-
               central.com/docs/iso10206.txt>

           $RE{comment}{Alice}
               The Alice Pascal compiler accepts comments that start with "{" and end with "}". Comments are
               not allowed to contain newlines.  See <http://www.templetons.com/brad/alice/language/>.

           $RE{comment}{Pascal}{Delphi}, $RE{comment}{Pascal}{Free} and $RE{comment}{Pascal}{GPC}
               The Delphi Pascal, Free Pascal and the Gnu Pascal Compiler implementations of Pascal all have
               comments that either start with "//" and last till the end of the line, are delimited with
               "{" and "}" or are delimited with "(*" and "*)". Patterns for those comments are given by
               $RE{comment}{Pascal}{Delphi}, $RE{comment}{Pascal}{Free} and $RE{comment}{Pascal}{GPC}
               respectively. These patterns only set $1 when "{-keep}" is used, which will then include the
               entire comment.

               See <http://info.borland.com/techpubs/delphi5/oplg/>,
               http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/ref.html <http://www .freepascal.org/docs-
               html/ref/ref.html> and http://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc/ <http://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc/>.

           $RE{comment}{Pascal}{Workshop}
               The Workshop Pascal compiler, from SUN Microsystems, allows comments that are delimited with
               either "{" and "}", delimited with "(*)" and "*"), delimited with "/*", and "*/", or starting
               and ending with a double quote ("""). When "{-keep}" is used, only $1 is set, and returns the
               entire comment.

               See http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/802-5762 <http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/802-5762>.

       PEARL
           Comments in PEARL start with a "!" and last till the end of the line, or start with "/*" and end
           with "*/". With "{-keep}", $1 will be set to the entire comment.

       PHP Comments in PHP start with either "#" or "//" and last till the end of the line, or are delimited
           by "/*" and "*/". With "{-keep}", $1 will be set to the entire comment.

       PL/B
           In PL/B, comments start with either "." or ";", and end with the next newline. See
           http://www.mmcctech.com/pl-b/plb-0010.htm <http://www.mmcctech.com/pl-b/plb-0010.htm>.

       PL/I
           The PL/I language has comments starting with "/*" and ending with "*/".

       PL/SQL
           In PL/SQL, comments either start with "--" and run till the end of the line, or start with "/*"
