NAME
PPI::Statement::Scheduled - A scheduled code block
INHERITANCE
PPI::Statement::Scheduled
isa PPI::Statement::Sub
isa PPI::Statement
isa PPI::Node
isa PPI::Element
DESCRIPTION
A scheduled code block is one that is intended to be run at a specific
time during the loading process.
There are five types of scheduled block:
BEGIN {
# Executes as soon as this block is fully defined
...
}
CHECK {
# Executes after overall compile-phase in reverse order
...
}
UNITCHECK {
# Executes after compile-phase of individual module in reverse order
...
}
INIT {
# Executes just before run-time
...
}
END {
# Executes as late as possible in reverse order
...
}
Technically these scheduled blocks are actually subroutines, and in
fact may have 'sub' in front of them.
METHODS

The "type" method returns the type of scheduled block, which should
always be one of 'BEGIN', 'CHECK', 'UNITCHECK', 'INIT' or 'END'.
