RDF::Q...:Limit(3pm)

💖 RDF::Query::Algebra::Limit — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let's talk about RDF::Query::Algebra::Limit — which is literally the algebra class for limiting query results. yes. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "we ran the whole query and then said okay that's enough." ✨

This page you're reading? It's the manual page for RDF::Query::Algebra::Limit in the RDF::Query::Algebra family, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, perl v5.40.1, dated 2025-08-18. We'll get to that sign-off at the end, don't rush me. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

RDF::Query::Algebra::Limit — the algebra class that handles limiting query results. 🦋

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

This doc describes RDF::Query::Algebra::Limit version 2.919. That's the number. Write it down, it's on the test. 💅

👑 METHODS 👑

okay so before we even get into the list — heads up: beyond all the methods documented below, this class also inherits methods from the RDF::Query::Algebra class. so if you don't see something here, go knock on that door. 🫶

• new ( $pattern, $limit ) — returns a new Sort structure. yes, it says Sort. no, I am not editing it. it's quoted exactly like that and I am simply the messenger. 🙈
• construct_args — hands you back a list of arguments that, if you pass them straight into this class' constructor, will produce a clone of this algebra pattern. it's the "copy me exactly" button. 🔥
• pattern — returns the pattern to be sorted.
• limit — returns the limit number of the pattern. the "how many is enough" number. the ✨cap✨.
• sse — returns the SSE string for this algebra expression.
• as_sparql — returns the SPARQL string for this algebra expression. yes bestie, it speaks SPARQL. 💅
• as_hash — returns the query as a nested set of plain data structures — no objects. just vibes and hashes. 🍓
• type — returns the type of this algebra expression. self-knowledge. main character energy. 👑
• referenced_variables — returns a list of the variable names used in this algebra expression.
• potentially_bound — returns a list of the variable names used in this algebra expression that will bind values during execution. like, maybe. potentially. hence the name, luv. 😭
• definite_variables — returns a list of the variable names that will be bound after evaluating this algebra expression. no maybes here, this one is definite. periodt.
• is_solution_modifier — returns true if this node is a solution modifier. simple as. 🌈
