DESCRIPTION

"PPI::Statement::Break" is intended to represent statements that break out of the normal statement flow control. This covers the basic types 'redo', 'goto', 'next', 'last' and 'return'.

METHODS

"PPI::Statement::Break" has no additional methods beyond the default ones provided by PPI::Statement, PPI::Node and PPI::Element.

However, it is expected to gain methods for identifying the line to break to, or the structure to break out of.

- Add the methods to identify the break target

- Add some proper unit testing
