There's about a billion documents in Perl using "POD".

   http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html

But POD doesn't dictate rules for GUI tools to "autocomplete" method names, so you'd have to layer in additional (scriptdoc-like) syntax for that inside your Perl. e.g. Komodo:

Every Perl person I know uses vi or emacs anyway.  :)
