    But you can have pod after __DATA__
      Yes but its considered part of __DATA__ :
      use strict ; use warnings ; package FOO::Messages; while(<DATA>) { print $_ ; } sub foo{} =head1 __DATA__ This is the data stuff here. =cut 1; __DATA__ data stuff here. =head1 OtherHeading Supp =cut asdfasdfasdf
      Output:
      perl pod.pl data stuff here. =head1 OtherHeading Supp =cut asdfasdfasdf
      Of course if the OP wants to parse out the POD bits then I guess this is a solution.

        That is kind of my point, why duplicate the information when you don't have to
