  isa PPI::Element

"PPI::Token" is the abstract base class for all Tokens. In PPI terms, a "Token" is a PPI::Element that directly represents bytes of source code.

The "set_content" method allows you to set/change the string that the "PPI::Token" object represents.

Returns the string you set the Token to

The "add_content" method allows you to add additional bytes of code to the end of the Token.

Returns the new full string after the bytes have been added.

The "length" method returns the length of the string in a Token.
