=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::RequirePodAtEnd - All POD should be after C<__END__>.


=head1 AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Perl stops processing code when it sees an C<__END__> statement.  So,
to save processing time, it's faster to put documentation after the
C<__END__>.  Also, writing all the POD in one place usually leads to a
more cohesive document, rather than being forced to follow the layout
of your code.  This policy issues violations if any POD is found
before an C<__END__>.


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.


=head1 NOTES

Some folks like to use C<=for>, and C<=begin>, and C<=end> tags to
create block comments in-line with their code.  Since those tags
aren't usually part of the documentation, this Policy does allows them
to appear before the C<__END__> statement.

    =begin comments

    frobulate()
    Accepts:  A list of things to frobulate
    Returns:  True if successful

    =end comments

    sub frobulate { ... }
