Unless the blocks themselves contain POD. Or a here document or string with `\n=cut\s` in it. Abigail	[reply] [d/l]

I also use POD to comment out blocks of code. I also never leave those blocks in for long (or at least strive not to). One trick i learned from merlyn is to be descriptive with the POD and use something like: `=for comment blah blah blah =cut` [download] But you are still going to interfere with any real POD your code contains - which is why i strive to remove unneeded code ASAP and let CVS handle the history (but i still leave phantom code from time out of false laziness). jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)	[reply] [d/l]
