I encountered the following:
$ perl
use strict;
use warnings;
push our @EXPORT, qw( foo )
=head2 foo
$result = foo()->get;
=cut
__END__
Global symbol "$result" requires explicit package name at - line 7.
I know that perlpod(1) mentions that POD can't appear within statements
and only between them, but I wonder to what extent this could be turned
into a warning of some kind? It might be nice to get a clue that looked
something like
Possible attempt to embed POD within an expression at - line 5.
before it reported on the syntax error on a later line. Otherwise, that
missing semicolon might not be so obvious as the reason.
