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

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

DESCRIPTION
       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
       "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
       See the support section in the main module.
