&lt;p&gt;I don't think private methods should be documented in POD at all, otherwise they're not really private. Inline comments for people actually working on the code should be sufficient.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I tend to group 'protected' methods in a POD heading called 'SUBCLASSING' or something similar -- basically, "Here's what you can use and what you need to know to write a subclass", which is what protected methods are really for.&lt;/p&gt;
