As a vim user, I found it helpful to edit my perl.vim syntax file like so:

+ if exists("perl_fold_pod")
syn region perlPOD start="^=[a-z]" end="^=cut" fold
else
syn region perlPOD start="^=[a-z]" end="^=cut"
endif
Then, by setting "let perl_fold_pod=1" in my .vimrc, all the pod folds
up by default, leaving only code. (I don't fold my code, so folding
just hides my inline pod. If you want to fold both, don't make the edit
to perl.vim and set "let perl_fold=1") When I want to edit a folded pod
section, "zo" opens a fold and "zc" closes it. "zn" opens them all and
"zN" closes them all. Makes inline pod less frustrating, particularly if
you write lengthy docs.
Thanks, I also use vim, so this works for me. :-) I had tried vim
folding before and found it too complicated, but for this simplified use
it's pretty nice.
Just one comment for our readers: the patch you gave was not enough by
itself; I found that I also needed to set foldmethod; adding these lines
to perl.vim seems to do the trick:
@@ -397,6 +398,9 @@
setlocal foldmethod=syntax
syn sync fromstart
+elseif exists("perl_fold_pod")
+ setlocal foldmethod=syntax

" fromstart above seems to set minlines even if perl_fold is not set.
syn sync minlines=0
Also, after looking at the docs, I think I'll use za instead of zo/zc
and zi instead of zn/zN. But, with vim as with Perl, TMTOWTDI, so YMMV.
