NAME

PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Regexp - Regexp constructor quote-like operator

INHERITANCE

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

DESCRIPTION

A PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Regexp object represents the quote-like operator used to construct anonymous Regexp objects, as follows.

# Create a Regexp object for a module filename
my $module = qr/\.pm$/;

METHODS

The following methods are provided by this class, beyond those provided by the parent PPI::Token::QuoteLike, PPI::Token and PPI::Element classes.

get_match_string

The get_match_string method returns the portion of the string that will be compiled into the match portion of the regexp.

get_substitute_string

The get_substitute_string method always returns undef, since the qr{} construction provides no substitution string. This method is provided for orthogonality with PPI::Token::Regexp.

get_modifiers

The get_modifiers method returns the modifiers that will be compiled into the regexp.

get_delimiters

The get_delimiters method returns the delimiters of the string as an array. The first and only element is the delimiters of the string to be compiled into a match string.

SUPPORT

See the support section in the main module.
