✨ TOML::Tiny::Grammar 💖

okay bestie, so the actual module name is TOML::Tiny::Grammar (the manpage header just shortens it to TOML::...Grammar because it's got places to be) — and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of your system. perl v5.40.1, dated 2026-06-13, the whole thing is on it. let's go 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

TOML::Tiny::Grammar — it exports the regex definitions that get used to parse TOML source. that's the whole job. it hands out regexes like candy 🍓

💅 VERSION 💅

version 0.22

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, this is how you'd actually use it:

use TOML::Tiny::Grammar;

if ($src =~ /$MultiLineString/) {
  ...
}
