PPI::St...ubscript(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, let me put you on: PPI::Structure::Subscript — it's the class for the braces that represent an array or hash subscript 💅

This is PPI::St...ubscript(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and yes the title got truncated in the header because Perl manpage naming is dramatic like that 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

# The end braces for all of the following are subscripts
$foo->[...]
$foo[...]
$foo{...}[...]
$foo->{...}
$foo{...}
$foo[]{...}

ngl, the thing to clock here is that comment: for every single one of those lines, the end braces are the subscripts. Not the first ones. The last ones. iykyk 🔥

---

🦋 INHERITANCE 🦋

the whole family tree, no cap:

PPI::Structure::Subscript
isa PPI::Structure
    isa PPI::Node
        isa PPI::Element

so it's giving PPI::Structure, which is giving PPI::Node, which is giving PPI::Element. generational excellence honestly 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

PPI::Structure::Subscript is literally the class used for square and curly braces that specify one element of an array or hash (or a slice/subset of an array or hash) ✨

that's it. that's the vibe. it's the subscript braces. iconic behavior.

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

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

not me having zero original methods and still being the moment 💀 no but fr, it inherits everything it needs from its parents and that's valid.
