# HTML::TokeParser::Simple::Token::ProcessInstruction(3pm)

Token.pm process instruction class.

## NAME

HTML::TokeParser::Simple::Token::ProcessInstruction - Token.pm process instruction class.

## SYNOPSIS

```
 use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;
 my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new( $somefile );
 while ( my $token = $p->get_token ) {
     # This prints all text in an HTML doc (i.e., it strips the HTML)
     next unless $token->is_text;
     print $token->as_is;
 }
```

## DESCRIPTION

Process Instructions are from XML.  This is very handy if you need to parse out PHP and similar things with a parser.

Currently, there appear to be some problems with process instructions.  You can override this class if you need finer grained handling of process instructions.

`"is_pi()"` and `"is_process_instruction()"` both return true.
