PPI::Token::Separator(3)                   User Contributed Perl Documentation


NAME
       PPI::Token::Separator - The __DATA__ and __END__ tags

INHERITANCE
         PPI::Token::Separator
         isa PPI::Token::Word
             isa PPI::Token
                 isa PPI::Element

DESCRIPTION
       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
       See the support section in the main module.
