PPIx::R...ression(3)

💖 PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Subexpression 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation set, and it's about PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Subexpression — say that five times fast, I dare you. it's giving very specific, very niche, very us. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Subexpression — the class that represents an independent subexpression. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the vibe check, code edition:

use PPIx::Regexp::Dumper;
PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new( 'qr{foo(?>bar)}smx' )
    ->print();

look at that (?>bar) — that's the independent subexpression in its natural habitat 🌸

---

✨ INHERITANCE ✨

PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Subexpression is a PPIx::Regexp::Structure. so it's got that lineage, it's got that pedigree, it knows where it came from 💅

and PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Subexpression has no descendants. it's a leaf, bestie. no children, no heirs, no nepo babies. the bloodline ends here 😭

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea: this class represents an independent subexpression, which — and I'm quoting perlre here, no cap — must match at the current location. must. like, no wiggle room, no negotiating, it's happening right here right now ✨

---

✨ METHODS ✨

ngl, this class provides no public methods beyond the ones its superclass already handed down. it's inheriting its whole personality and honestly? valid. it's lowkey the "I'm just here for the vibes" of classes 🦋

---
