you may consider to use a pod section for commenting out a code block.
I have used these ways, maybe not good, but they can be used.:)
1) put the code block in a subroutine,and never call that routine.
sub no_use {
code block
}
2) assign the code block to a variable, and never use that variable.
my $no_use = <<'EOF';
code block
EOF
