+/* This file contains pp ("push/pop") functions that
+ * execute the opcodes that make up a perl program. A typical pp function
+ * expects to find its arguments on the stack, and usually pushes its
+ * results onto the stack, hence the 'pp' terminology. Each OP structure
+ * contains a pointer to the relevant pp_foo() function.
+ *
+ * This particular file just contains pp_pack() and pp_unpack(). See the
+ * other pp*.c files for the rest of the pp_ functions.
