I'll have to go with the rest of the posts here and suggest that inline POD is better.

Actually, since you're documenting your subs anyway (you are, aren't you? ;), what's the point of using # when the alternative (POD) is machine readable? Using CPAN modules nota bene, you don't have to make up your own doc-to-HTML-or-whatnot standard like in so many other languages.

The one disadvantage I can see would possible be performance, but I think it's kind of easy on the parser to skip POD markup as opposed to making sense of Perl code :)

These are my templates for documenting properties and methods: 

=head2 ppp

The what that is this and that.

=cut
sub ppp { my $self = shift;


=head2 mmm()

Do this, do that.

Return 1 on success, else 0.

=cut
sub mmm { my $self = shift;
