Okay, I got it now, after going through the CPAN documentation a bit more.


use strict;
use warnings;
use PPI;

my $file = '/path/to/perl/script.pl';
my $Document = PPI::Document->new($file) or die "oops";

for my $sub ( @{ $Document->find('PPI::Statement::Sub') || [] } ) {
    unless ( $sub->forward ) {
        my @elements = $sub->children;

        for ( my $i = 0 ; $i < @elements ; $i++ ) {
            if ( ref $elements[$i] eq "PPI::Structure::Block" ) {
                $elements[$i]->start->add_content("my mars code");
            }
        }
    }
}

$Document->save($file.".new");

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
