You mean using =begin, =end? They are not exactly multiline *comments*.

Not that I use them myself, but the "proper" (for various values of
proper) way to use POD for multi-line comments is
=for comment
Commented text
=cut
Yes it sucks, yes it will be fixed* in Perl 6* (or possible earlier if
the trend of adopting Perl 6 features in Perl 5 releases continues).
It will be a quote-like operator, so you will be able to say
#{
This is
a multi-line comment
}
#[
so is this
#[ and this one is nested ]
]
#{{{ multiple brackets must match on both sides }}}
* for various definitions of fixed, there are some caveats, the
biggest being that a # as the first character on a line is always
considered a single line comment even if the next character is a
bracketing character. Don't ask me why.
