Surely it highlights pod distinctively? > Is there any IDE out there that highlights POD differently than code? If you class vim as an IDE, then sure. And as I've overridden vim's default colouring for comments with things like green, POD and comments are very easy to see. > If that was the case then I probably wouldn't have a problem with > in-module POD.

My only criticism of inline POD is when the docs far outweigh the code and don't really follow the code order and the code order wouldn't be good to change. This amounts to precisely one of my modules. And in that case there's not much code in the module itself that is part of a public API while the public API is sufficiently complex to warrant reams of docs. cheers, -- Iain.
