DESCRIPTION

A "PPI::Statement::Include::Perl6" is a special include statement that indicates the start of a section of Perl 6 code inlined into a regular Perl 5 code file.

The primary purpose of the class is to allow PPI to provide at least basic support for "6 in 5" modules like v6.pm;

Currently, PPI only supports starting a Perl 6 block. It does not currently support changing back to Perl 5 again. Additionally all POD and __DATA__ blocks and __END__ blocks will be included in the Perl 6 string and will not be parsed by PPI.

perl6

The "perl6" method returns the block of Perl 6 code that is attached to the "use v6...;" command.

TO DO

- Write specific unit tests for this package
