NAME

PPI::Token::Data - The actual data in the __DATA__ section of a file

INHERITANCE

Top

  PPI::Token::Data
  isa PPI::Token
      isa PPI::Element

DESCRIPTION

Top

The PPI::Token::Data class is used to represent the actual data inside a file's __DATA__ section.

One PPI::Token::Data object is used to represent the entire of the data, primarily so that it can provide a convenient handle directly to the data.

METHODS

Top

PPI::Token::Data provides one method in addition to those provided by our parent PPI::Token and PPI::Element classes.

handle

The handle method returns a IO::String handle that allows you to do all the normal handle-y things to the contents of the __DATA__ section of the file.

Unlike in perl itself, this means you can also do things like print new data onto the end of the __DATA__ section, or modify it with any other process that can accept an IO::Handle as input or output.

Returns an IO::String object.

SUPPORT

Top

See the support section in the main module.
