This year is the 25th Perl Advent Calendar. It's time to start planning what you'd like to write about, or throw some ideas for what you'd like to read.

It all happens through the Perl Advent GitHub repo.

If there was a mechanism to,

  • Opt-into Markdown documentation on a per-file basis.
  • Document your code with Markdown instead instead of POD

Assuming these concerns were met,

  • A call to perldoc MyModule rendered the Markdown to text with something like mdcat which supports images, links
  • No browser was required at all (mdcat works without a browser).
  • Support for terminal-rendering of Markdown was a part of core.
  • All of this was done merely by creating a distinction between a code-comment, and a doc-comment as demonstrated in this repo, where
    • A doc comment was marked with a line starting ##
    • Any other use of # continues to carry code-commenting semantics


Would you prefer it and use it?
