Compil...:Token(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Compiler::Lexer::Token — it's the Token object for Compiler::Lexer, bestie 💅

Like, one page in the Compil...:Token(3pm) manual, third section, User Contributed Perl Documentation vibes. Periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

So Compiler::Lexer::Token includes the following members. That's it, that's the whole cast of characters 🎀

• stype — the constant of Compiler::Lexer::SyntaxType.
• type — the constant of Compiler::Lexer::TokenType.
• kind — the constant of Compiler::Lexer::Kind.
• name — the name of Compiler::Lexer::TokenType.
• data — the raw data, literally just the raw stuff, no filter.
• has_warnings — a flag of whether it's an unknown keyword or not. Yep, it's the snitch flag 🙈

---

💖 METHODS 💖

It supports simple get/set accessors like Class::Accessor::Fast. Very demure, very mindful, very get-and-set 🫶

example:

my $type = $token->type;                            # get accessor
$token->type(Compiler::Lexer::TokenType::T_RegExp); # set accessor

See? Call it with no args and it gets, call it with an arg and it sets. Main character energy, no cap ✨
