or a POD-section , i.e. natural solution would be comment-face.
(like most other editors I tested do, just check vim)

__END__ is practically the same as __DATA__ and Ilya is right those
sections are terminated only by EOF.


@Stefan: I'm not talking about highlighting according to HTML  just
wanna avoid the perl-parser to hang the system.

@Ilya: Sorry the HTML is confidential, I'm even not allowed to publish
parts of it, e.g. by stripping the text between the markup. :( And I
wasn't able to reproduce it.

FWIW my workaround at the moment is to start the __DATA__ section
with
----------

=pod

-----------
to avoid syntaxification.
