+" Vim syntax file
+" Language: Perl POD format
+" Maintainer: Scott Bigham <dsb@cs.duke.edu>
+" Last Change: 2001 May 09
+
+" To add embedded POD documentation highlighting to your syntax file, add
+" the commands:
+"
+" syn include @Pod <sfile>:p:h/pod.vim
+" syn region myPOD start="^=pod" start="^=head" end="^=cut" keepend contained contains=@Pod
+"
+" and add myPod to the contains= list of some existing region, probably a
+" comment. The "keepend" flag is needed because "=cut" is matched as a
+" pattern in its own right.
+
+
+" Remove any old syntax stuff hanging around (this is suppressed
+" automatically by ":syn include" if necessary).
+" For version 5.x: Clear all syntax items
+" For version 6.x: Quit when a syntax file was already loaded
+if version < 600
+ syntax clear
+elseif exists("b:current_syntax")
+ finish
+endif
