PPI::Transform::UpdateCopyright provides a demonstration of a typical PPI::Transform class.

       This class implements a document transform that will take the name of an author and update the copyright
       statement to refer to the current year, if it does not already do so.

new
         my $transform = PPI::Transform::UpdateCopyright->new(
             name => 'Adam Kennedy'
         );

       The "new" constructor creates a new transform object for a specific author. It takes a single "name"
       parameter that should be the name (or longer string) for the author.

       Specifying the name is required to allow the changing of a subset of copyright statements that refer to
       you from a larger set in a file.

   name
       The "name" accessor returns the author name that the transform will be searching for copyright statements
       of.
