NAME

6       PPI::Token::Data - The actual data in the __DATA__ section of a file
7

INHERITANCE

9         PPI::Token::Data
10         isa PPI::Token
11             isa PPI::Element
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The "PPI::Token::Data" class is used to represent the actual data
15       inside a file's "__DATA__" section.
16
17       One "PPI::Token::Data" object is used to represent the entire of the
18       data, primarily so that it can provide a convenient handle directly to
19       the data.
20

METHODS

22       "PPI::Token::Data" provides one method in addition to those provided by
23       our parent PPI::Token and PPI::Element classes.
24
25       handle
26
27       The "handle" method returns a IO::String handle that allows you to do
28       all the normal handle-y things to the contents of the __DATA__ section
29       of the file.
30
31       Unlike in perl itself, this means you can also do things like "print"
32       new data onto the end of the __DATA__ section, or modify it with any
33       other process that can accept an IO::Handle as input or output.
34
35       Returns an IO::String object.
