I know that =start is not a valid POD command, but it doesn't break the
program. When I use it, I don't need to use it to add real POD docs, so the
commands shouldn't be valid.
=head1 NAME
is too long...

How to comment Multiple lines in Perl?
Perl doesn't have a multiline comment mark.
You can use perldoc marks in order to comment what you want, or include
the content in a string, like:
Perldoc style:
=start
Here
are the
lines you
want to comment
=cut
$ echo "
=start
Here
are the
lines you
want to comment
=cut
" | podchecker
*** ERROR: Unknown command 'start' at line 3 in file <standard input>
<&STDIN does not contain any pod commands.
