PPI::Token::Regexp - Regular expression abstract base class
PPI::Token::Regexp isa PPI::Token isa PPI::Element
The PPI::Token::Regexp class is never instantiated, and simply provides a common abstract base class for the three regular expression classes. These being:
PPI::Token::Regexp
The names are hopefully obvious enough not to have to explain what each class is. See their pages for more details.
To save some confusion, it's worth pointing out here that qr// is not a regular expression (which PPI takes to mean something that will actually examine or modify a string), but rather a quote-like operator that acts as a constructor for compiled Regexp objects.
