# Padre::Task::IntroduceTemporaryVariable(3pm)

Introduces a temporary variable using PPI

## NAME

Padre::Task::IntroduceTemporaryVariable - Introduces a temporary variable using PPI

## SYNOPSIS

```
  my $tempvarmaker = Padre::Task::IntroduceTemporaryVariable->new(
          document       => $document_obj,
          start_location => [$line, $column], # or just character position
          end_location   => [$line, $column], # or ppi-style location
          varname        => '$foo',
  );
  $tempvarmaker->schedule;
```

## DESCRIPTION

Given a region of code within a statement, replaces that code with a temporary variable. Declares and initializes the temporary variable right above the statement that included the selected expression.

Usually, you simply set `"start_position"` to what `"$editor->GetSelectionStart"` returns and `"end_position"` to `"$editor->GetSelectionEnd - 1"`.

## SEE ALSO

This class inherits from `"Padre::Task::PPI"`.
