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

NAME
PPIx::EditorTools::RenamePackageFromPath -Change the package name based on the files path SYNOPSIS
my $munged = PPIx::EditorTools::RenamePackageFromPath->new->rename( code => "package TestPackage; use strict; BEGIN { $^W = 1; } 1; ", filename => './lib/Test/Code/Path.pm', ); my $new_code_as_string = $munged->code; my $package_ppi_element = $munged->element; DESCRIPTION
This module uses PPI to change the package name of code. METHODS
new() Constructor. Generally shouldn't be called with any arguments. rename( ppi => PPI::Document $ppi, filename => Str ) =item rename( code => Str $code, filename => Str ) Accepts either a "PPI::Document" to process or a string containing the code (which will be converted into a "PPI::Document") to process. Replaces the package name with that supplied in the "filename" parameter and returns a "PPIx::EditorTools::ReturnObject" with the new code available via the "ppi" or "code" accessors, as a "PPI::Document" or "string", respectively. An attempt will be made to derive the package name from the filename passed as a parameter. The filename's path will converted to an absolute path and it will be searched for a "lib" directory which will be assumed the start of the package name. If no "lib" directory can be found in the absolute path, the relative path will be used. Croaks with a "package name not found" exception if unable to find the package name. SEE ALSO
This class inherits from "PPIx::EditorTools". Also see App::EditorTools, Padre, and PPI. perl v5.14.2 2012-03-11 PPIx::EditorTools::RenamePackageFromPath(3pm)
