The last item may change with Perl6, for "=begin/end", but the rest will probably not.

Actually, the first point:
<blockquote><i>
POD <b>is</b> the official way to do multi line comments in Perl
</i></blockquote>
will also change in Perl 6, which introduces an indentable, nestable, multi-line-able delimited comment:
<code>
#{ comment
here
}
#[ comment
here
]
#( comment here )
#< comment here >
#« comment etc. »
</code>
A delimited comment is introduced by a <code>#</code> followed immediately by any kind of opening bracket. It is closed by the corresponding closing bracket.
