The Perl mechanism for exception handling uses die to throw an exception when wrapped inside an eval {...}; block. After the eval, the special variable $@ contains the value passed from die. Perl 5.005 added the ability to throw objects as well as strings. This allows better introspection and handling of types of exceptions.
Sed regular expressions, particularly those using the "s" operator, are much similar to Perl (sed is a predecessor to Perl). The default delimiter is "/", but any delimiter can be used; the default is s / regexp / replacement / , but s : regexp : replacement : is also a valid form.

Technically, Perl does not have a convention for including block comments in source code, but POD is routinely used as a workaround. PHP. PHP supports standard C/C++ style comments, but supports Perl style as well. Python
A less explicit but more conceptually portable version of this string is ' 0E0 ' or ' 0e0 ', which does not rely on characters being evaluated as 0, because '0E0' is literally zero times ten to the power zero. The empty hash {} is also true; in this context {} is not an empty block, because perl -e 'print ref {}' returns HASH.
In some of these languages, this syntax is a here document or "heredoc": A token representing the string is put in the middle of a line of code, but the code continues after the starting token and the string's content doesn't appear until the next line. In other languages, the string's content starts immediately after the starting token and the ...
The Computer Language Benchmarks Game site warns against over-generalizing from benchmark data, but contains a large number of micro-benchmarks of reader-contributed code snippets, with an interface that generates various charts and tables comparing specific programming languages and types of tests.
