Sommaire

NAME

PPI::Token::Regexp - Regular expression abstract base class

INHERITANCE

   PPI::Token::Regexp
   isa PPI::Token
       isa PPI::Element

DESCRIPTION

The "PPI::Token::Regexp" class is never instantiated, and simply provides a common abstract base class for the three regular expression classes. These being:
m// - PPI::Token::Regexp::Match
s/// - PPI::Token::Regexp::Substitute
tr/// - PPI::Token::Regexp::Transliterate

The names are hopefully obvious enough not to have to explain what each class is. See their pages for more details.

To save some confusion, it's worth pointing out here that "qr//" is not a regular expression (which PPI takes to mean something that will actually examine or modify a string), but rather a quote-like operator that acts as a constructor for compiled Regexp objects.

SUPPORT
