#NAME

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

#INHERITANCE

PPI::Statement::Scheduled
isa PPI::Statement::Sub
    isa PPI::Statement
        isa PPI::Node
            isa PPI::Element

#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
