You can use the following trick from perldoc perlopentut to run
you script's output through a pager:

  #!/usr/bin/perl
  use strict;

  my $pager = $ENV{PAGER} || "(less || more)";
  open(STDOUT, "| $pager") or die "can't fork a pager: $!";
  $SIG{PIPE} = sub { exit };

  print "This is line $_\n" for 1..100;
  print "I'm all done\n";

  close STDOUT;

perldoc -q 'How can I comment out a large block of perl code?'
