DESCRIPTION

This module uses PPI to change the package name of code.

METHODS

Constructor. Generally shouldn't be called with any arguments.
Accepts either a "PPI::Document" to process or a string containing the code (which will be converted into a "PPI::Document") to process. Replaces the package name with that supplied in the "replacement" parameter and returns a "PPIx::EditorTools::ReturnObject" with the new code available via the "ppi" or "code" accessors, as a "PPI::Document" or "string", respectively.

Croaks with a "package name not found" exception if unable to find the package name.

SEE ALSO

This class inherits from "PPIx::EditorTools". Also see App::EditorTools, Padre, and PPI.
