Thanks Sarah, you are right. In perl, "cut" serves the function of
eliminating a block of code from being executed in a script. When
"=cut" is
placed above and below the code that you do not wish to execute then
the
interpreter will skip over the code. There are lots of ways to
solve the
problem, but cut is a handy solution.
The question now sounds analogous to questions that have been raised
in the past requesting a block comment feature. There isn't one. There
are a variety of work-arounds but the usual response has been: figure
out how to do it (meaning line-by-line "#" insertions) with your
editor.
One of the workarounds... the one I remember anyway... has been to
insert:
if(FALSE) {
stuff your don't want executed
}
(There is of, course, a cut function and it is for a very different
purpose.)

It would help if you told us what you wanted this function to do,
and provided an example. Not everyone speaks Perl.

Does anyone know of a command in R that is equivalent to the =cut
function
in Perl?
Thanks.
