       When you do $parser->get_token on a Pod::Simple::PullParser, you should get an object of a subclass of
       Pod::Simple::PullParserToken.

       Subclasses will add methods, and will also inherit these methods:

       $token->type
           This  returns  the  type of the token.  This will be either the string "start", the string "text", or
           the string "end".

           Once you know what the type of an object is, you then know what subclass it belongs to, and therefore
           what methods it supports.

           Yes,     you     could     probably     do     the      same      thing      with      code      like
           $token->isa('Pod::Simple::PullParserEndToken'),  but that's not so pretty as using just $token->type,
           or even the following shortcuts:

       $token->is_start
           This is a shortcut for "$token->type() eq "start""

       $token->is_text
           This is a shortcut for "$token->type() eq "text""

       $token->is_end
           This is a shortcut for "$token->type() eq "end""

       $token->dump
           This returns a handy stringified value of this object.  This is useful for debugging, as in:

             while(my $token = $parser->get_token) {
               $DEBUG and print STDERR "Token: ", $token->dump, "\n";
               ...
             }

       Given a $parser that's an object of class Pod::Simple::PullParser (or a subclass)...

         while(my $token = $parser->get_token) {
           $DEBUG and print STDERR "Token: ", $token->dump, "\n";
           if($token->is_start) {
             ...access $token->tagname, $token->attr, etc...

           } elsif($token->is_text) {
             ...access $token->text, $token->text_r, etc...

           } elsif($token->is_end) {
             ...access $token->tagname...

           }
         }
