Generally speaking, there are no multiline comments in Perl. However, there are ways to cheat. And let me stress, that these are WRONG.

1. pod
POD is good. POD is sexy. But POD is for documentation, not comments. If you are evil, and don't care, you can use POD to add multiline comments. But don't do that.

# Code does stuff here
my $foo = 7;

=pod

I set $foo to 7 here because 7 is the number of God. Don't
believe me? Well, then, $you eq 'numbskull'. So anyway, this
multiline "comment" really shouldn't be here.

=cut

2. here documents
This is even worse. Use a here document and assign it to a variable or, even worse, to nothing!
Update: Note: Using the here document as I did will generate a warning. You do use the -w switch, right?

print "foo = $foo \n";

<<'END_COMMENT';

And then we print $foo. By the way, make sure you use single
quotes for this here document otherwise your @variables will 
wind up being interpolated. Except you shouldn't use this in
the first place, so the point is moot.

END_COMMENT

Remember: don't do either of these things. Be content with one-line comments!

I feel so dirty...

print "All done! I'm a bad hacker! \n";
