Either run pod through a pod puller before the C preprocessor gets to
the code, or figure out a set of macros that can quote and ignore pod.

The second is Yet Another Halting Problem so we go with the first?

Which means a little program to depod the source before building it,
or a -HASPOD extension to gcc

Or just getting in the habit of writing 

/*
=pod


and

=cut
*/
