For me, I have only written POD when I intended to publish the module. As some others have said, it would be an unnecessary interruption to the code which does not give me any useful information. I prefer to comment the code with things I need to remember.

For finding sections of my code, I use a heading, via comments, but one that is large and easy to see when scrolling quickly past it. This can be as simple as something like this for a function... 

# -------------------------------------------------------------
#   P R O C E S S    R E P L A C E M E N T S
# -------------------------------------------------------------

...or with my HTML code to be able to easily find a section there... 
<!--

...to something more noticeable for a group of functions or a section of HTML, like this: 
<!--
#^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# ******* N E W   A C C O U N T   C R E A T I O N *******

(Yes, I found that text art online somewhere and copied it...too much work to make it myself!)

Sometimes my header can be removed once active development on that section is complete. It just helps me find it at the time I am working with that section.

These headers have been my way of navigating my code more easily, as each of the 20+ files in the required codebase has over 1,000 lines on average.

Blessings,
