💅 PPI::Statement::Include::Perl6 — the tea ☕

okay so bestie, this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual, section 3, and it's all about PPI::Statement::Include::Perl6. yes the name is long. no we are not shortening it. it's giving "my full legal name" energy and we respect it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

PPI::Statement::Include::Perl6 — the Inline Perl 6 file section. that's it, that's the whole name. short, sweet, iconic. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the vibe in code form, copy it exactly, don't freestyle:

use v6-alpha;

grammar My::Grammar {
    ...
}

like… you write use v6-alpha; and then suddenly you're in grammar town. slay. 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so a PPI::Statement::Include::Perl6 is a special include statement, and what it means is: hey, a section of Perl 6 code is about to be inlined into a totally normal Perl 5 code file. it's a crossover episode. 😭

the main character purpose of this class is to let PPI give at least basic support for "6 in 5" modules like v6.pm. basic. we said basic. don't come for her. 🙈

rn, PPI only supports starting a Perl 6 block. it does not currently support changing back to Perl 5 again. and also — and this is the important part — all POD and __DATA__ blocks and __END__ blocks will be included in the Perl 6 string and will not be parsed by PPI. so like. heads up. 💀

🧚 perl6

the perl6 method returns the block of Perl 6 code that is attached to the use v6...; command. that's the whole method. she does one thing and she does it well. periodt. 🔥

---

🌈 TO DO 🌈

• Write specific unit tests for this package

that's it. that's the whole list. one item. she's manifesting. 🫶
