NAME

       PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Main - Represent a regular expression proper, or a substitution

SYNOPSIS

	PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new( 'qr{foo}smx' )
	    ->print();

INHERITANCE

       "PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Main" is a PPIx::Regexp::Structure.

       "PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Main" is the parent of PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Regexp and PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Replacement.

DESCRIPTION

       This abstract class represents one of the top-level structures in the expression. Both PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Regexp and
       PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Replacement are derived from it.

METHODS

       This class provides the following public methods. Methods not documented here are private, and unsupported in the sense that the author
       reserves the right to change or remove them without notice.

   delimiters
       This method returns a string representing the delimiters of a regular expression or substitution string. In the case of something like
       "s/foo/bar/", it will return '//' for both the regular expression and the replacement.

   interpolates
       This method returns true if the regular expression or replacement interpolates, and false otherwise. All it really does is to check whether
       the ending delimiter is a single quote.

SUPPORT

       Support is by the author. Please file bug reports at <http://rt.cpan.org>, or in electronic mail to the author.
