try hideshow mode
put the following in your .emacs:
  (require 'hideshow)
  (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'hs-minor-mode)
  (add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'hs-minor-mode)
  (add-hook 'perl-mode-hook 'hs-minor-mode)
  etc

then put the point in the block you want to hide and run 
M-x hs-hide-block
and
M-x hs-show-block
to restore it. (these can be bound to a key)

Hope this helps
