It has two benefits. Separating code from pod prevents it from being wholely unreadable without syntax highlighting. I ran into this face first once while trying to read CPAN code or something similar through a browser. I ended up mistaking code in pod for real code and mostly it was pretty unpleasant. I could have just schlepped the code down to a local box, perltidied it and opened it in emacs to get everything to be super-sane again. The other benefit is you don't spend the CPU parsing that additional bit of text. I recall noticing it on some really pod-heavy code. Josh
