`perldoc comment' yields

  How can I comment out a large block of perl code?
            Use embedded POD to discard it:

                # program is here

                =for nobody
                This paragraph is commented out

                # program continues

                =begin comment text

                all of this stuff

                here will be ignored
                by everyone

                =end comment text

                =cut

            This can't go just anywhere. You have to put a pod directive
            where the parser is expecting a new statement, not just in the
            middle of an expression or some other arbitrary yacc grammar
            production.
