NAME

XML::DOM::ProcessingInstruction - An XML processing instruction in XML::DOM

DESCRIPTION

XML::DOM::ProcessingInstruction extends XML::DOM::Node.

It represents a "processing instruction", used in XML as a way to keep processor-specific information in the text of the document. An example:

 <?PI processing instruction?>

Here, "PI" is the target and "processing instruction" is the data.

getTarget: The target of this processing instruction. XML defines this as being the first token following the markup that begins the processing instruction.
getData and setData (data): The content of this processing instruction. This is from the first non white space character after the target to the character immediately preceding the ?>.
