NAME

Regexp::Flow::Result - container for information about a Regexp match.

DESCRIPTION

This is a subclass of Regexp::Result. It adds methods and attributes which are useful to have in the same object.

OVERLOADING

In a boolean context, this returns true if the match was a success.

METHODS

success

1 or 0; default undef. Indicates if the match was a success.

continue_action

next or last; default next. Used to control if m//g and s///g continue to operate. See the last method.

last

Invoke this method to set continue_action to "last". This prevents further coderefs being executed by Regexp::Flow::re_matches or Regexp::Flow::re_substitutions. Note that this does not exit the current subroutine.

string

The string before the regexp was executed. Note that when globally matching, the string is the same for all results - the string is only changed when all the matches have been found.

re

The regular expression in use.
