I recall, on first encountering Literate Haskell at some point after 2010, mentally comparing it to something I thought I recalled from earlier in the perl ecosystem (on top of being vaguely aware of Knuth's stuff, although I hadn't actually read up on it at that point - at this point I have a copy on my desk).

POD? I’ve only encountered people using it to embed manpages into their single-file scripts, even if it turns out that the documentation[1] doesn’t consider this the canonical use case and demonstrates something much more like LH. But then I’ve never done much Perl.

I don't think it would have been POD (which I agree isn't the same thing) but maybe. It's been a while.
