Ah, yes.  Sorry -- my mind was determined to read Perl code even where
it wasn't!

PS:  For anybody else looking at these documents in 'Vim' and who wants
the XXX bits to stand out, simply create a file with this name:

  ~/.vim/after/syntax/pod.vim

containing these lines:

  syntax keyword podTodo TODO XXX
  highlight link podTodo Todo

Then the next time you open a pod file the XXX will be highlighted like
it is in Perl comments.
