PPIx::R...ipt_Run(3)

💖 PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Script_Run 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the internet, where we're talking about PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Script_Run — yes, that whole entire name, we're saying it with our whole chest 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Script_Run — the lil token that represents a script run specifier. it's giving niche, it's giving necessary, it's giving exactly what it says on the tin 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, just look at her:

use PPIx::Regexp::Dumper;
PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new( 'qr{(*script_run:\d)}' )
    ->print();

that's it. that's the vibe. run it and watch the dumper do its lil thing ✨

---

🦋 INHERITANCE 🦋

so the family tree is short and sweet, no drama:

• PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Script_Run is a PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType. yes ma'am, it knows its parent 👑
• PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Script_Run has no descendants. no children, no heirs, no nepo babies. it's an only child, main character energy only 💀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕ this token represents the specifier for a script run — and by that we mean literally one of these three strings:

• '+script_run:'
• '*script_run:'
• '*sr:'

and where does it live? it comes after the left parenthesis. that's the spot. that's her home 🏠

now the lore, because this icon has history: the first form was added in Perl 5.27.8, but then it got retracted in favor of the second and third forms (which are equivalent, bestie, they're the same thing wearing different outfits) in Perl 5.27.9. not me getting retconned in a point release 😭

⚠️ and the real talk: if this construction does not make it into Perl 5.28, this class will be retracted. so like… enjoy her while she's here, okay? 🙈

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

the tea here is very short and honestly kind of iconic for it: this class provides no public methods beyond those provided by its superclass.

that's right. zero. nothing. she inherited everything and added nothing. slay, honestly 💅✨
