I am new to perl. In fact I haven't written decent code in perl. But I
would like to write a module. And is the perldoc that comes with Perl at
cpan all you need to write in perl?

perldoc perlmod is a good place to start reading.

You don't need perldoc although it certainly comes very handy when
writing Perl code. Technically all you need is an editor to write and
the perl interpreter to run the code.

What about a Perl compiler. That's the one thing I have against Perl it
runs on interpreters. Btw what is a POD ?
