DESCRIPTION
In some situations you might want to work with a fragment of a larger
document. "PPI::Document::Fragment" is a class intended for this
purpose. It is functionally almost identical to a normal
PPI::Document, except that it is not possible to get line/column
positions for the elements within it, and it does not represent a
scope.
METHODS
index_locations
Unlike when called on a PPI::Document object, you should not be
attempting to find locations of things within a
PPI::Document::Fragment, and thus any call to the "index_locations"
will print a warning and return "undef" instead of attempting to index
the locations of the Elements.
TO DO
Integrate this into the rest of PPI so it has actual practical uses.
The most obvious would be to implement arbitrary cut/copy/paste more
easily.
SUPPORT
See the support section in the main module.
