in reply to perldoc terminal syntax color highlighting

 [cpan://pod term], [metacpan://pod term] pod term, pod term -> Pod::Perldoc::ToTerm - render Pod with terminal escapes ... alt, indent, loose, quotes, sentence, width

So there you go, you have a start :) SMOP-it extension for code paragraphs (verbatim) with Text::VimColor and you're done

You could also hack PPI::HTML to ansi up the text with Term::ANSIColor::Markup

proof of concept should take all of 5 minutes ;P
