NAME

Parse::RandGen::Regexp - Regular expression Condition element.

DESCRIPTION

Regexp is a Condition element that matches the given compiled regular expression. For picking random data, the regular expression is parsed into its component Subrules, Literals, CharClasses, etc.... Therefore, the pick functionality for a regular expression is ultimately the same as the pick functionality of a Rule (including the limitations w/r to greediness - see Rule).

METHODS

new

Creates a new Regexp. The first argument (required) is the regular expression element (e.g. qr/foo(bar|baz)+\d{1,10}/). All other arguments are named pairs.

element

Returns the Regexp element (i.e. the compiled regular expression itself).
