UPDATE: Merlyn's code above out does what I say here! Listen to merlyn.

I know of no secret pod tags, but you could use a pod hack like the following. I wouldn't recommend it, but it does allow for you to hide at least one line from the pod. The basic premise is -- use a bogus tag and the the perl parser will treat it like but pod parser will ignore it. Anything on the same line as that bogus tag will also get ignored. Not good in wide practice.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w =head1 Some function or other =cut sub foo { } =bogustag1 Yet Another function 1 =cut sub foo2 { } =bogustag2 Yet Another function =cut sub foo3 { }

What was wrong with using "#"'s again?

my @a=qw(random brilliant braindead); print $a[rand(@a)];
