I can only tell how I'm doing it, I'm not "the USERS" and I'm still
confused about the whishes of Terrence/Metaperl (hs-minor-mode simply
folds at all blocks "{"blocks"}" )

Chunks of code line  - normally but not necessarily paragraphs - get a
leading comment line like

---------------------------
sub do_data {

  #- fetching data
  open my $fh,"<","txt";
  $data=slurp $fh;

  #- processing data ...

  #- returning data ...
}
--------------------------

to be able to fold these with outline minor mode I add an extra hyphen
to distinguish these line comments from others.

(I don't think it's possible to design a regex that only folds single
comment lines on tops of code chunks.)


more folding on =pods would be nice, too.

But I'm not sure if outline or hide-show is the better choice.


If you want a more representative answer you should maybe ask at
