    From Robin on this thread (the one I linked to above):

    We're going to open up our source code parser/line counter very soon. We're hoping some brave soul will take it upon themselves to add POD and docstring support to our parser. :-)"

    I'll certainly volunteer for the POD parser :)

    Topic: Comment ratio metrics / Perl

    I assume the comment ratio metric doesn't include embedded POD when scanning Perl?

    Many Perl developers interleave POD and Perl

    =head3 C<foo>

    Set or get the foo factor for this frobnicator. Called with no arguments returns the current foo factor

    my $foo_factor = $frob->foo;

    Called with a single argument sets the foo factor

     $frob->foo(11.5);

    =cut

    sub foo { ... }

    It's also possible to use POD for block comments

    =begin comment

    Setting foo while the frobnicator is processing documents is safe but won't take effect until the next run. At the start of the current run all settings are captured in a closure - so setting foo has no immediate effect.

    =end comment

    Are such blocks counted as comments? I think they should be :)
