Some perl files have a copyright statement at the start in comments and
then again at the end in the embedded documentation. A couple of
examples picked at random,
http://search.cpan.org/src/GUIDO/libintl-perl-1.16/lib/Locale/TextDomain.pm
http://search.cpan.org/src/ECOCODE/Finance-Quote-1.15/lib/Finance/Quote.pm
It's a little redundant of course, but the start puts it in front of the
programmer and the end in the POD goes through to the man/html/whatever
docs, so it's not completely outrageous.
It'd be great if copyright-update could update both places. Maybe a
"both" mode for copyright-at-end-flag, or maybe even an "all" mode to
look for all matches, though I don't suppose three occurances would be
likely. If the scan is pretty fast it'd be tempting to just look for
all matches, with no options.
I got the "both" effect I wanted from a bit of a hack
(defun my-copyright-update-both ()
(interactive)
(when (or (not (boundp 'copyright-update)) ;; if not yet loaded
copyright-update)
(copyright-update)
(let ((copyright-at-end-flag (not copyright-at-end-flag)))
(setq copyright-update t)
(copyright-update))))
