NAME

       PPIx::Regexp::Token::Code - Represent a chunk of Perl embedded in a regular expression.

SYNOPSIS

        use PPIx::Regexp::Dumper;
        PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new(
            'qr{(?{print "hello sailor\n"})}smx')->print;

INHERITANCE

       "PPIx::Regexp::Token::Code" is a PPIx::Regexp::Token.

       "PPIx::Regexp::Token::Code" is the parent of PPIx::Regexp::Token::Interpolation.

DESCRIPTION

       This class represents a chunk of Perl code embedded in a regular expression. Specifically,
       it results from parsing things like

        (?{ code })
        (??{ code })

       or from the replacement side of an s///e. Technically, interpolations are also code, but
       they parse differently and therefore end up in a different token.

       This token may not appear inside a regex set (i.e. "(?[ ... ])". If found, it will become
       a "PPIx::Regexp::Token::Unknown".

METHODS

       This class provides the following public methods. Methods not documented here are private,
       and unsupported in the sense that the author reserves the right to change or remove them
       without notice.

   is_matcher
       This method returns "undef" because a static analysis can not in general tell whether an
       interpolated value matches anything.

   ppi
       This convenience method returns the PPI::Document representing the content. This document
       should be considered read only.

       Note that if the location of the invocant is available the PPI document will have stuff
       prefixed to it to make the location of the tokens in the new document consistent with the
       location. This "stuff" will include at least a "#line" directive, and maybe leading white
       space.
