This is a bug report for perl from bbermack@mit.edu,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

When compiling (running) a program such as:

================================================================
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

#       line 777: Content/1.html

xyz;
================================================================

the error in "xyz;" is reported as being in line 778, rather than 7.

Doubling the "#" fixes the problem.

I suppose this might be a feature that's documented somewhere, but I've never
seen it and it certainly isn't intuitive, nor can I think of a good reason to
want it.
