I agree with this in theory, however in practice, interleaving code and pod comments messes up colorization in my favorite editor (emacs). I assume that it does in other editors as well. Do you have a work around or know of editors that don't exhibit this problem?

Soon to be unemployed!

    vim has no trouble with highlighting pod blocks. The (few) other editors I've tried didn't have a problem with it, komodo, anjuta, jedit, dzsoft, and a couple others.

    Sorry to come back to this post only now, I thought I already answered this morning! I even added the emacs and cperl version as an update... on another post :)

    The only problem I have with pod colorising in cperl is that it's quite slow to be triggered, but it works well for me. I'm running emacs 21.2.2 (Slackware 9 default) with the standard provided cperl.

    Flavio (perl -e 'print(scalar(reverse("\nti.xittelop\@oivalf")))')

    Don't fool yourself.

    What version of emacs are you using? Colorizing POD works fine for me with emacs-21 on solaris and freebsd.
