NAME¶
PPI::Token::End - Completely useless content after the __END__ tag
INHERITANCE¶
PPI::Token::End
isa PPI::Token
isa PPI::Element
DESCRIPTION¶
If you've read PPI::Token::Whitespace, you should understand by now the concept
of documents "floating in a sea of PPI::Token::Whitespace".
Well it doesn't after the __END__ tag.
Once you __END__, it's all over. Anything after that tag isn't even fit to be
called whitespace. It just simply doesn't exist as far as perl (the
interpreter) is concerned.
That's not to say there isn't useful content. Most often people use the __END__
tag to hide POD content, so that perl never has to see it, and presumably
providing some small speed up.
That's fine. PPI likes POD. Any POD after the __END__ tag is parsed into valid
PPI::Token::Pod tags as normal.
This class, on the other hand, is for
"what's after __END__ when it isn't POD".
Basically, the completely worthless bits of the file :)
METHODS¶
This class has no method beyond what is provided by its PPI::Token and
PPI::Element parent classes.
SUPPORT¶
