Do you use the regular "#" or inline POD statements?
Both. # is proper for intimate comments of the implementation code, like: $META ||= CPAN->new; # In case we re-eval ourselves we need the || # from http://search.cpan.org/src/ANDK/CPAN-1.8802/lib/CPAN.pm but some authors use it as well for multi-line comments which are to be kept private to the documentation. POD is good for documentation and multi-line comments. For example, you see often things like =begin comment blah, blah, =end comment It is a way to deactivate pieces of code which are not ready yet or which have been replaced by something else. Depending on the editor you use and your skills with it, POD may be handier to comment such blocks.
