Overview

This module uses PPI to change the package name of code.

Methods

new()

Constructor. Generally shouldn't be called with any arguments.

rename( ppi => PPI::Document $ppi, replacement => Str )
rename( code => Str $code, replacement => Str )

Accepts either a "PPI::Document" to process or a string containing the code (which will be converted into a "PPI::Document") to process. Replaces the package name with that supplied in the "replacement" parameter and returns a "PPIx::EditorTools::ReturnObject" with the new code available via the "ppi" or "code" accessors, as a "PPI::Document" or "string", respectively.

Croaks with a "package name not found" exception if unable to find the package name.
