✨ NAME ✨

PPIx::Regexp::Token::Control — case and quote control, bestie 💅

It's a Perl module, it lives in the PPIx::Regexp::Token::Control section of the manual (the page header calls it PPIx::R...Control(3) because apparently even manpage titles get the ✨mystery✨ treatment), and it's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation. Okay so let's GO 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Like, here's the vibe in code form:

use PPIx::Regexp::Dumper;
PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new( 'qr{\Ufoo\E}smx' )
    ->print();

That's it. That's the whole entrance exam. 🦋

🧚 INHERITANCE 🧚

Okay so the family tree, and it's giving only child energy:

  • PPIx::Regexp::Token::Control is a PPIx::Regexp::Token.
  • PPIx::Regexp::Token::Control has no descendants.

Periodt. Nothing inherits from it. It's a leaf and it's thriving 💜

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this class is the main character for the case and quote controls. ✨

These kick in when the regular expression gets compiled, and they change the actual expression that ends up generated. Not a little cosmetic thing — the real output shifts. Lowkey iconic behavior.

For example, bestie, if you do this:

print qr{\Ufoo\E}, "\n"

it prints:

(?-xism:FOO)

See how foo became FOO? Yeah. That's the control doing its thing. 🔥

🎀 METHODS 🎀

This class provides no public methods beyond those provided by its superclass.

That's it. It said "I'm just here for the vibes, my parent handles the rest." 🙈
