This class represents a literal character, no matter how specified.
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.
print 'The ordinal of ', $token->content(), ' is ', $token->ordinal(), "\n";
This method returns the ordinal of the literal if it can figure it out. It is analogous to the ord built-in.
ord
It will not attempt to determine the ordinal of a unicode name (\N{...}) unless charnames has been loaded, and supports the vianame() function. Instead, it will return undef. Users of Perl 5.6.2 and older may be out of luck here.
\N{...}
undef
Unicode code points (e.g. \N{U+abcd}) should work independently of charnames, and just return the value of abcd.
\N{U+abcd}
abcd
It will never attempt to return the ordinal of an octet (\C{...}) because I don't understand the syntax.
\C{...}
Support is by the author. Please file bug reports at http://rt.cpan.org, or in electronic mail to the author.
