Hello, I have been editing some Perl scripts in vi recently, and I find it very annoying that Perl cannot comment blocks of code, only lines. I have been reading the docs in vi, but I can't quite figure out how to do a substitute command that will, say, prepend a # to the next n lines, and later remove the # ( well, the second one I could always use :s and replace the first # with nothing for the next n lines. But the first one is still a mystery to me ). Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! P.S. Please cc: me, as I am not subscribed to the list with this account. Thanks again.
