toggle comment display

[iaw4]

is there a submode for latex and perl that can hide and unhide comments ( latex %, perl # and pod), so that I can see the comments when I want to see them, but not clutter up the display otherwise?

(slashdot had a story on this today.)

pointers appreciated.

This would be pretty awesome, especially if it was generic enough to
work with any major-mode.

it probably can help an expert, but not someone of my skill level. too much detail. I use a variety of emacs modes (primarily html, auctex, perl, R [ess]). perl and R use '#', latex uses '%'. html uses <!-- --> and perl also has multiline comments with pod. comments are usually colored, so they are recognized by my emacs modes.

I would love to bind toggle-all-comments to F10, and have all multi-line comment views collapse or uncollapse when I hit F10. that's it. as simple as possible.

possible?
