PPI::Token::Separator3pm
The __data__ and __end__ tags
Inheritance
PPI::Token::Separatorisa PPI::Token::Wordisa PPI::Tokenisa PPI::Element
Overview
Although superficially looking like a normal PPI::Token::Word object, when the "__DATA__" and "__END__" compiler tags appear at the beginning of a line (on supposedly) their own line, these tags become file section separators.
The indicate that the time for Perl code is over, and the rest of the file is dedicated to something else (data in the case of "__DATA__") or to nothing at all (in the case of "__END__").
Methods
This class has no methods beyond what is provided by its PPI::Token::Word, PPI::Token and PPI::Element parent classes.
Support
