ppi::token::word

PPI::Token::Word(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       PPI::Token::Word(3)

NAME

       PPI::Token::Word - The generic "word" Token

INHERITANCE

	 PPI::Token::Word
	 isa PPI::Token
	     isa PPI::Element

DESCRIPTION

       A "PPI::Token::Word" object is a PPI-specific representation of several different types of word-like things, and is one of the most common
       Token classes found in typical documents.

       Specifically, it includes not only barewords, but also any other valid Perl identifier including non-operator keywords and core functions,
       and any include "::" separators inside it, as long as it fits the format of a class, function, etc.

METHODS

       There are no methods available for "PPI::Token::Word" beyond those provided by its PPI::Token and PPI::Element parent classes.

       We expect to add additional methods to help further resolve a Word as a function, method, etc over time.  If you need such a thing right
       now, look at Perl::Critic::Utils.

   literal
       Returns the value of the Word as a string.  This assumes (often incorrectly) that the Word is a bareword and not a function, method,
       keyword, etc.  This differs from "content" because "Foo'Bar" expands to "Foo::Bar".

   method_call
       Answers whether this is the name of a method in a method call. Returns true if yes, false if no, and nothing if unknown.

TO DO

       - Add "function", "method" etc detector methods
