PPIx::Regexp::Token::Modifier - Represent modifiers.
use PPIx::Regexp::Dumper; PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new( 'qr{foo}smx' ) ->print();
PPIx::Regexp::Token::Modifier is a PPIx::Regexp::Token.
PPIx::Regexp::Token::Modifier
PPIx::Regexp::Token::Modifier is the parent of PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Modifier.
This class represents modifier characters at the end of the regular expression. For example, in qr{foo}smx this class would represent the terminal smx.
qr{foo}smx
smx
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.
$token->asserts( 'i' ) and print "token asserts i"; foreach ( $token->asserts() ) { print "token asserts $_\n" }
This method returns true if the token explicitly asserts the given modifier. The example would return true for the modifier in (?i:foo), but false for (?-i:foo).
(?i:foo)
(?-i:foo)
If called without an argument, or with an undef argument, all modifiers explicitly asserted by this token are returned.
my %mods = $token->modifiers();
Returns all modifiers asserted or negated by this token, and the values set (true for asserted, false for negated). If called in scalar context, returns a reference to a hash containing the values.
$token->negates( 'i' ) and print "token negates i\n"; foreach ( $token->negates() ) { print "token negates $_\n" }
This method returns true if the token explicitly negates the given modifier. The example would return true for the modifier in (?-i:foo), but false for (?i:foo).
If called without an argument, or with an undef argument, all modifiers explicitly negated by this token are returned.
Support is by the author. Please file bug reports at http://rt.cpan.org, or in electronic mail to the author.
