Hmm. Slightly simplified, perl ignores everything between (and including) a line that starts with '=', and a line that reads '=cut'. POD is one application that makes use of this to allow embedded documentation in perl programs. One can argue whether the actual format of POD is part of the perl language. Mark's document system uses the same technique to embed documentation-oriented information in perl programs. I see no reason why this should be called POD::OO or something alike, unless it is a clear extension of POD. Which is, if I understand Mark correctly, not the case. On the other side, OODoc sounds more like a generic description than as a product. For this reason, I'd prefer OODF. -- Johan
