PPI::Token::Data - The actual data in the __DATA__ section of a file
PPI::Token::Data isa PPI::Token isa PPI::Element
The PPI::Token::Data class is used to represent the actual data inside a file's __DATA__ section.
PPI::Token::Data
__DATA__
One PPI::Token::Data object is used to represent the entire of the data, primarily so that it can provide a convenient handle directly to the data.
PPI::Token::Data provides one method in addition to those provided by our parent PPI::Token and PPI::Element classes.
The handle method returns a IO::String handle that allows you to do all the normal handle-y things to the contents of the __DATA__ section of the file.
handle
Unlike in perl itself, this means you can also do things like print new data onto the end of the __DATA__ section, or modify it with any other process that can accept an IO::Handle as input or output.
print
Returns an IO::String object.
