Count Lines of Code

Sunday June 1, 2008
Whatever language you choose to program in, here's an interesting and useful utility (written in Perl of course) that will count blank lines, comment lines, and physical lines of source code. Great for proving to the boss that you're working if they're the type that thinks greater quantities of code equals greater productivity! Seriously though, it's always interesting to see how compact you can get with any algorithm or bit of code, and this program works with literally almost every language you could possibly be using.
