The problem with that is that perl is still going to try to compile what's inside the block, so it wouldn't work if you want to outcomment something that doesn't compile, or to outcomment an BEGIN/CHECK/INIT/END block - and it may not work as expected if you outcomment a method that also appears higher up in your inheritance tree.
