PPI::St...structor(3)

💅 PPI::Structure::Constructor 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the PPI::St...structor(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, no cap 💖 this one's short and sweet, so let's gooo.

---

✨ NAME ✨

PPI::Structure::Constructor — it's the anonymous hash or array constructor class. that's it, that's the vibe 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bestie look how cute these are:

my $array = [ 'foo', 'bar' ];
my $hash  = { foo => 'bar' };

two little anon constructors living their best life, literally iconic 👑

---

🌸 INHERITANCE 🌸

the family tree, and yes we're respecting the lineage 💜

PPI::Structure::Constructor
isa PPI::Structure
    isa PPI::Node
        isa PPI::Element

so it inherits all the way down through PPI::Structure → PPI::Node → PPI::Element. main character with a whole ancestry fr fr ✨

---

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

okay so PPI::Structure::Constructor is the class used for anonymous ARRAY reference or HASH reference constructors.

that's the whole personality. it's giving "I contain your [ ... ] and { ... } and I'm thriving" 🫶

---

🧚 METHODS 🧚

ngl this part is lowkey anticlimactic:

PPI::Structure::Constructor has no methods beyond those provided by the standard PPI::Structure, PPI::Node and PPI::Element methods.

so everything you get, you get from the parent classes. no extras, no surprises, just vibes 😭💖
