.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Although superficially looking like a normal PPI::Token::Word object,
when the \f(CW\*(C`_\|_DATA_\|_\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`_\|_END_\|_\*(C'\fR compiler tags appear at the beginning of
a line (on supposedly) their own line, these tags become file section
separators.
.PP
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 \f(CW\*(C`_\|_DATA_\|_\*(C'\fR) or
to nothing at all (in the case of \f(CW\*(C`_\|_END_\|_\*(C'\fR).
