Highlighters (facification and syntaxification) form a list.  Just
append to this list.

Do not forget to check for presence of "in POD" text-property.

Here you want to check for "in POD" and/or comment's face.

IIRC, syntaxification (which sents "in POD") is done before
facification.  So put your stuff in the list of facification recipies,
and you can check for this text-property.  There is no need to have
CPerl hooks, since facification is performed via normal Emacs lists.

Thread is best.  (Although Google search of groups looks quickly
deteriorating...  Anyone else noticing this?  Are there alternatives?)
