PPI::Statement::Scheduled - A scheduled code block
INHERITANCE
PPI::Statement::Scheduled

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
