PPI::Token::Comment(3)               User Contributed Perl Documentation              PPI::Token::Comment(3)



NAME
       PPI::Token::Comment - A comment in Perl source code

INHERITANCE
         PPI::Token::Comment
         isa PPI::Token
             isa PPI::Element

SYNOPSIS
         # This is a PPI::Token::Comment

         print "Hello World!"; # So it this

         $string =~ s/ foo  # This, unfortunately, is not :(
               bar
               /w;

DESCRIPTION
       In PPI, comments are represented by "PPI::Token::Comment" objects.

       These come in two flavours, line comment and inline comments.

       A "line comment" is a comment that stands on its own line. These comments hold their own newline and
       whitespace (both leading and trailing) as part of the one "PPI::Token::Comment" object.

       An inline comment is a comment that appears after some code, and continues to the end of the line.
       This does not include whitespace, and the terminating newlines is considered a separate
       PPI::Token::Whitespace token.

       This is largely a convenience, simplifying a lot of normal code relating to the common things people
       do with comments.

       Most commonly, it means when you "prune" or "delete" a comment, a line comment disappears taking the
       entire line with it, and an inline comment is removed from the inside of the line, allowing the
       newline to drop back onto the end of the code, as you would expect.

       It also means you can move comments around in blocks much more easily.

       For now, this is a suitably handy way to do things. However, I do reserve the right to change my mind
       on this one if it gets dangerously anachronistic somewhere down the line.

METHODS
       Only very limited methods are available, beyond those provided by our parent PPI::Token and
       PPI::Element classes.

   line
       The "line" accessor returns true if the "PPI::Token::Comment" is a line comment, or false if it is an
       inline comment.

SUPPORT
       See the support section in the main module.
