NAME

       PPI::Token::Quote - String quote abstract base class

INHERITANCE

	 PPI::Token::Quote
	 isa PPI::Token
	     isa PPI::Element

DESCRIPTION

       The "PPI::Token::Quote" class is never instantiated, and simply provides a common abstract base class for the four quote classes.  In PPI,
       a "quote" is limited to only the quote-like things that themselves directly represent a string. (although this includes double quotes with
       interpolated elements inside them).

       The subclasses of "PPI::Token::Quote" are:

       '' - PPI::Token::Quote::Single
       "q{}" - PPI::Token::Quote::Literal
       "" - PPI::Token::Quote::Double
       "qq{}" - PPI::Token::Quote::Interpolate

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

       Please note that although the here-doc does represent a literal string, it is such a nasty piece of work that in PPI it is given the honor
       of its own token class (PPI::Token::HereDoc).

METHODS

   string
       The "string" method is provided by all four ::Quote classes. It won't get you the actual literal Perl value, but it will strip off the
       wrapping of the quotes.

	 # The following all return foo from the ->string method
	 'foo'
	 "foo"
	 q{foo}
	 qq <foo>

   literal
       The "literal" method is provided by ::Quote:Literal and ::Quote::Single.  This returns the value of the string as Perl sees it: without the
       quote marks and with "\" and "'" resolved to "" and "'".

       The "literal" method is not implemented by ::Quote::Double or ::Quote::Interpolate yet.

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.
