It's a common idiom to use ```=begin comment``` ... ```=end comment``` Pod directives to emulate multi-line comments. It's mentioned in the [perlfaq](http://perldoc.perl.org/perlfaq7.html#How-can-I-comment-out-a-large-block-of-Perl-code%3f) and often suggested to others, as here on [a stackoverflow answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/3609021/1104069). This particular Pod directive should be highlighted as a Perl comment instead of as Pod, or it should be an option. At the very least, there should be documentation on how to do it yourself in your own vimrc.
