Perl comments/POD?

I'm curious as to why perl POD in code doesn't count as comments? My code - like quite a lot of other perl code - contains very few comments (I can argue about why another day), but it does contain extensive (100% method coverage and detailed usage for all executable programs) documentation using inlined POD.

It seems strange not to count this at all.

Probably. Python docstrings are also not counted :(

Our perl parser is not yet smart enough to recognize POD as distinct from regular perl code. I agree that POD should be counted as comments, not as code, but it will probably take us a while to get this implemented.

So is the ohloh code open source? I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd be interesting in contribution improvements. ;-)
