NAME

PPIx::Utils::Language - Utility functions for PPI related to the Perl language

SYNOPSIS

    use PPIx::Utils::Language ':all';

DESCRIPTION

This package is a component of PPIx::Utils that contains functions related to aspects of the Perl language.

FUNCTIONS

All functions can be imported by name, or with the tag :all.

precedence_of

    my $precedence = precedence_of($element);

Given a PPI::Token::Operator or a string, returns the precedence of the operator, where 1 is the highest precedence. Returns undef if the precedence can't be determined (which is usually because it is not an operator).

symbol_without_sigil

    my $name = symbol_without_sigil($symbol);

Returns the name of the specified symbol with any sigil at the front. The parameter can be a vanilla Perl string or a PPI::Element.
