32 This is a base class for all tasks that need to do expensive
33 calculations using PPI. The class will setup a PPI::Document object
34 from a given piece of code and then call the "process_ppi" method on
35 the task object and pass the PPI::Document as first argument.
36
37 You can either let "Padre::Task::PPI" fetch the Perl code for parsing
38 from the current document or specify it as the ""text"" parameter to
39 the constructor.
40
41 Note: If you don't supply the document text and there is no currently
42 open document to fetch it from, "new()" will simply return the empty
43 list instead of a "Padre::Task::PPI" object.
44
46 This class inherits from "Padre::Task" and its instances can be
47 scheduled using "Padre::TaskManager".
48
49 The transfer of the objects to and from the worker threads is
50 implemented with Storable.
