PPIx::EditorTools::IntroduceTemporaryVariable(3pm)	User Contributed Perl Documentation	PPIx::EditorTools::IntroduceTemporaryVariable(3pm)

NAME
PPIx::EditorTools::IntroduceTemporaryVariable - Introduces a temporary variable using PPI SYNOPSIS
my $munged = PPIx::EditorTools::IntroduceTemporaryVariable->new->introduce( code => "use strict; BEGIN { $^W = 1; } my $x = ( 1 + 10 / 12 ) * 2; my $y = ( 3 + 10 / 12 ) * 2; ", start_location => [ 2, 19 ], end_location => [ 2, 25 ], varname => '$foo', ); my $modified_code_as_string = $munged->code; my $location_of_new_var_declaration = $munged->element->location; DESCRIPTION
Given a region of code within a statement, replaces all occurrences of that code with a temporary variable. Declares and initializes the temporary variable right above the statement that included the selected expression. METHODS
new() Constructor. Generally shouldn't be called with any arguments. find( ppi => PPI::Document, start_location => Int, end_location => Int, varname => Str ) =item find( code => Str, start_location => Int, end_location => Int, varname => Str ) Accepts either a "PPI::Document" to process or a string containing the code (which will be converted into a "PPI::Document") to process. Given the region of code specified by start_location and end_location, replaces that code with a temporary variable with the name given in varname (defaults to "tmp"). Declares and initializes the temporary variable right above the statement that included the selected expression. Returns a "PPIx::EditorTools::ReturnObject" with the modified code as a string available via the "code" accessor (or as a "PPI::Document" via the "ppi" accessor), and the "PPI::Token" where the new variable is declared available via the "element" accessor. Croaks with a "no token" exception if no token is found at the location. Croaks with a "no statement" exception if unable to find the statement. SEE ALSO
This class inherits from "PPIx::EditorTools". Also see App::EditorTools, Padre, and PPI. perl v5.14.2 2012-03-11 PPIx::EditorTools::IntroduceTemporaryVariable(3pm)
