NAME

       PPI::Document::Fragment - A fragment of a Perl Document

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.
