PPI::Statement::Compound(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			       PPI::Statement::Compound(3)

NAME
PPI::Statement::Compound - Describes all compound statements SYNOPSIS
# A compound if statement if ( foo ) { bar(); } else { baz(); } # A compound loop statement foreach ( @list ) { bar($_); } INHERITANCE
PPI::Statement::Compound isa PPI::Statement isa PPI::Node isa PPI::Element DESCRIPTION
"PPI::Statement::Compound" objects are used to describe all current forms of compound statements, as described in perlsyn. This covers blocks using "if", "unless", "for", "foreach", "while", and "continue". Please note this does not cover "simple" statements with trailing conditions. Please note also that "do" is also not part of a compound statement. # This is NOT a compound statement my $foo = 1 if $condition; # This is also not a compound statement do { ... } until $condition; METHODS
"PPI::Statement::Compound" has a number of methods in addition to the standard PPI::Statement, PPI::Node and PPI::Element methods. type The "type" method returns the syntactic type of the compound statement. There are four basic compound statement types. The 'if' type includes all variations of the if and unless statements, including any 'elsif' or 'else' parts of the compound statement. The 'while' type describes the standard while and until statements, but again does not describes simple statements with a trailing while. The 'for' type covers the C-style for loops, regardless of whether they were declared using 'for' or 'foreach'. The 'foreach' type covers loops that iterate over collections, regardless of whether they were declared using 'for' or 'foreach'. All of the compounds are a variation on one of these four. Returns the simple string 'if', 'for', 'foreach' or 'while', or "undef" if the type cannot be determined. TO DO

PPI::Statement::Variable(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			       PPI::Statement::Variable(3)

NAME
PPI::Statement::Variable - Variable declaration statements SYNOPSIS
# All of the following are variable declarations my $foo = 1; my ($foo, $bar) = (1, 2); our $foo = 1; local $foo; local $foo = 1; LABEL: my $foo = 1; INHERITANCE
PPI::Statement::Variable isa PPI::Statement::Expression isa PPI::Statement isa PPI::Node isa PPI::Element DESCRIPTION
The main intent of the "PPI::Statement::Variable" class is to describe simple statements that explicitly declare new local or global variables. Note that this does not make it exclusively the only place where variables are defined, and later on you should expect that the "variables" method will migrate deeper down the tree to either PPI::Statement or PPI::Node to recognise this fact, but for now it stays here. METHODS
type The "type" method checks and returns the declaration type of the statement, which will be one of 'my', 'local', 'our', or 'state'. Returns a string of the type, or "undef" if the type cannot be detected (which is probably a bug). variables As for several other PDOM Element types that can declare variables, the "variables" method returns a list of the canonical forms of the variables defined by the statement. Returns a list of the canonical string forms of variables, or the null list if it is unable to find any variables. symbols Returns a list of the variables defined by the statement, as PPI::Token::Symbols.
