PPIx::Regexp::Token::Unknown(3p)

NAME
PPIx::Regexp::Token::Unknown - Represent an unknown token

SYNOPSIS
 use PPIx::Regexp::Dumper;
 PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new( 'xyzzy' )
     ->print();

INHERITANCE
"PPIx::Regexp::Token::Unknown" is a PPIx::Regexp::Token.

"PPIx::Regexp::Token::Unknown" has no descendants.

DESCRIPTION
This token represents something that could not be identified by the tokenizer. Sometimes the lexer can fix these up, but the presence of one of these in a finished parse represents something in the regular expression that was not understood.

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, since we could not identify the token, we have no idea whether it matches anything.

  ordinal
This method returns the results of the ord built-in on the content (meaning, of course, the first character of the content). No attempt is made to interpret the content, since after all this is the unknown token.

SUPPORT
Support is by the author. Please file bug reports at <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=PPIx-Regexp>, <https://github.com/trwyant/perl-PPIx-Regexp/issues>, or in electronic mail to the author.
