Inline POD is the devil. I like to put my POD at the end, after a __END__.

    Technically, my POD was after the 1;, so while it may have sounded like inline POD (which I agree is absolutely the devil), it wasn't. And I'm not a fan of using the __END__ tag -- personal preference.

      You don't have to like __END__, but it does solve problems with POD messing up code. Nothing after it is parsed by perl.
