Actually, there are multiple styles of comment delimiters available
depending upon the language.
In Perl you have single line comments that begin with "#"
This convention has been adopted by MS for use in batch files.
In Javascript, and in CSS a single line comment begins with "//"
Likewise, you can have a multi-line comment (even if it really does only
use one line) that starts with "/*" and ends with "*/"
