PPI::Document::File(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation PPI::Document::File(3)NAME
PPI::Document::File - A Perl Document located in a specific file
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: This class is experimental, and may change without notice
PPI::Document::File provides a PPI::Document subclass that represents a Perl document stored in a specific named file.
METHODS
new
my $file = PPI::Document::File->new( 'Module.pm' );
The "new" constructor works the same as for the regular one, except that the only params allowed is a file name. You cannot create an
"anonymous" PPI::Document::File object, not can you create an empty one.
Returns a new PPI::Document::File object, or "undef" on error.
filename
The "filename" accessor returns the name of the file in which the document is stored.
save
# Save to the file we were loaded from
$file->save;
# Save a copy to somewhere else
$file->save( 'Module2.pm' );
The "save" method works similarly to the one in the parent PPI::Document class, saving a copy of the document to a file.
The difference with this subclass is that if "save" is not passed any filename, it will save it back to the file it was loaded from.
Note: When saving to a different file, it is considered to be saving a copy and so the value returned by the "filename" accessor will stay
the same, and not change to the new filename.
TO DO
- May need to overload some methods to forcefully prevent Document objects becoming children of another Node.

PPI::Document::Fragment(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation PPI::Document::Fragment(3)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.

I just noticed that the copy of a file I made is smaller than the original, although I hardly made any changes to it. Can anyone tell me what determines the size of files?

What are the pros & cons, if any, between using Perl's copy module vs OS's system cp, for copying a file to another directory? Or are they exactly the same?
1) Perl's File::Copy module, as in
copy ($filename, $dest_path) or die "ERROR: Cannot copy\n";
2)
