NAME

PPI::Token::End - Completely useless content after the __END__ tag

INHERITANCE

  PPI::Token::End
  isa PPI::Token
          isa PPI::Element

DESCRIPTION

If you've read PPI::Token::Whitespace, you should understand by now the concept of documents "floating in a sea of PPI::Token::Whitespace".

Well it doesn't after the __END__ tag.

Once you __END__, it's all over. Anything after that tag isn't even fit to be called whitespace. It just simply doesn't exist as far as perl (the interpreter) is concerned.

That's not to say there isn't useful content. Most often people use the __END__ tag to hide POD content, so that perl never has to see it, and presumably providing some small speed up.

That's fine. PPI likes POD. Any POD after the __END__ tag is parsed into valid PPI::Token::Pod tags as normal. This class, on the other hand, is for "what's after __END__ when it isn't POD".

Basically, the completely worthless bits of the file :)

METHODS

This class has no method beyond what is provided by its PPI::Token and PPI::Element parent classes.
