PPIx::Regexp::Support(3)                   User Contributed Perl Documentation


NAME
       PPIx::Regexp::Support - Basis for the PPIx::Regexp support classes

SYNOPSIS
        use PPIx::Regexp::Dumper;
        PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new( 'qr{foo}smx' )
            ->print();

INHERITANCE
       "PPIx::Regexp::Support" is not descended from any other class.

       "PPIx::Regexp::Support" is the parent of PPIx::Regexp::Dumper,
       PPIx::Regexp::Lexer and PPIx::Regexp::Tokenizer.

DESCRIPTION
       This abstract class provides methods for the "PPIx::Regexp" support
       classes.

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.

   close_bracket
       This method takes as its argument a character. If this character is an
       open bracket the corresponding close bracket is returned. Otherwise
       "undef" is returned. Only the ASCII bracket characters are considered
       brackets: (), {}, [], and <>.

   decode
       This method wraps the Encode::decode subroutine. If the object
       specifies no encoding or encode_available() returns false, this method
       simply returns its input string.

   encode
       This method wraps the Encode::encode subroutine. If the object
       specifies no encoding or encode_available() returns false, this method
       simply returns its input string.

   encode_available
       This method returns true if the Encode module is available, and false
       otherwise. If it returns true, the Encode module has actually been
       loaded.
