=pod

=head2 merge @podtokens

The C<merge> constructor takes a number of C<PPI::Token::Pod> objects,
and returns a new object that represents one combined POD block with
the content of all of them.

Returns a new C<PPI::Token::Pod> object, or C<undef> on error.

=cut

sub merge {
	my $class = (! ref $_[0]) ? shift : return undef;

	# Check there are no bad arguments
	if ( grep { ! _INSTANCE($_, 'PPI::Token::Pod') } @_ ) {
		return undef;
	}

	# Get the tokens, and extract the lines
	my @content = ( map { [ $_->lines ] } @_ ) or return undef;

	# Remove the leading =pod tags, trailing =cut tags, and any empty lines
	# between them and the pod contents.
	foreach my $pod ( @content ) {
		# Leading =pod tag
		if ( @$pod and $pod->[0] =~ /^=pod\b/o ) {
			shift @$pod;
		}

		# Trailing =cut tag
		if ( @$pod and $pod->[-1] =~ /^=cut\b/o ) {
			pop @$pod;
		}

		# Leading and trailing empty lines
		while ( @$pod and $pod->[0]  eq '' ) { shift @$pod }
		while ( @$pod and $pod->[-1] eq '' ) { pop @$pod   }
	}

	# Remove any empty pod sections, and add the =pod and =cut tags
	# for the merged pod back to it.
	@content = ( [ '=pod' ], grep { @$_ } @content, [ '=cut' ] );

	# Create the new object
	$class->new( join "\n", map { join( "\n", @$_ ) . "\n" } @content );
}

=pod

=head2 lines

The C<lines> method takes the string of POD and breaks it into lines,
returning them as a list.

=cut

sub lines {
	split /(?:\015{1,2}\012|\015|\012)/, $_[0]->{content};
}
