PPI::To...stitute(3)

✨ NAME ✨

PPI::Token::Regexp::Substitute — a match-and-replace regular expression token 💅

So like, the full title in the manual is PPI::Token::Regexp::Substitute, and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the man pages. It's giving "find and replace but make it a whole entire object" 🎀

🌸 INHERITANCE 🌸

The family tree, and yes she comes from good stock 👑

    isa PPI::Token
        isa PPI::Element

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

One line. One vibe. The whole point of her existence, honestly:

$text =~ s/find/$replace/;

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so a PPI::Token::Regexp::Substitute object is literally just one single substitution regular expression, living its best life as a token. That's it. That's the whole personality. She's the s/// girlie in the PPI universe ✨

🎀 METHODS 🎀

Bestie, I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this: there are no methods available for PPI::Token::Regexp::Substitute beyond the ones she inherits from her parents — PPI::Token::Regexp, PPI::Token, and PPI::Element. She's a nepo baby in the most literal, technical sense and we love that for her 🙈

No extra methods. No secret sauce. Just the family inheritance. Periodt 💅
