=head1 NAME

Pod::Weaver::Role::StringFromComment - Extract a string from a specially formatted comment

=head1 VERSION

version 4.006

=head1 OVERVIEW

This role assists L<Pod::Weaver sections|Pod::Weaver::Role::Section> by
allowing them to pull strings from the source comments formatted like:

    # KEYNAME: Some string...

This is probably the most familiar to people using lines like the following to
allow the L<Name section|Pod::Weaver::Section::Name> to determine a module's
abstract:

    # ABSTRACT: Provides the HypnoToad with mind-control powers

It will extract these strings by inspecting the C<ppi_document> which
must be given.

=head1 PRIVATE METHODS

This role supplies only methods meant to be used internally by its consumer.

=head2 _extract_comment_content($ppi_doc, $key)

Given a key, try to find a comment matching C<# $key:> in the C<$ppi_document>
and return everything but the prefix.

e.g., given a document with a comment in it of the form:

    # ABSTRACT: Yada yada...

...and this is called...

    $self->_extract_comment_content($ppi, 'ABSTRACT')

...it returns to us:

    Yada yada...
