How do I add a multi-line comment to Perl source code?

POD is the official way to do multi line comments in Perl,

• see Multi-line comments in perl code and
• Better ways to make multi-line comments in Perl for more detail.

From faq.perl.org[perlfaq7]

• How can I comment out a large block of Perl code?

You end the comment with =cut, ending the Pod section:

=pod

my $object = NotGonnaHappen->new();

ignored_sub();

$wont_be_assigned = 37;

=cut

=end comment

=cut

I found it. Perl has multi-line comments:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

use warnings;

=for comment
