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 the PPI::Token::Word manpage 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 the PPI::Token::Word manpage, the PPI::Token manpage and the PPI::Element manpage parent classes.


SUPPORT

See the support section in the main module.
