PPIx::Regexp::Constant - Constants for the PPIx::Regexp system

 use PPIx::Regexp::Constant qw{ TOKEN_UNKNOWN }
 print "An unknown token's class is TOKEN_UNKNOWN\n";

PPIx::Regexp::Constant is an Exporter.

PPIx::Regexp::Constant has no descendants.

This module defines manifest constants for use by the various PPIx::Regexp modules. These constants are to be considered private to the PPIx::Regexp system, and the author reserves the right to change them without notice.

This module exports the following manifest constants:

The name of the cookie used to control the construction of character classes.

This cookie is set in PPIx::Regexp::Token::Structure when the left square bracket is encountered, and cleared in the same module when a right square bracket is encountered.

The name of the cookie used to control the construction of curly bracketed quantifiers.

This cookie is set in PPIx::Regexp::Token::Structure when a left curly bracket is encountered. It requests itself to be cleared on encountering anything other than a literal comma, a literal digit, or an interpolation, or if more than one comma is encountered. If it survives until PPIx::Regexp::Token::Structure processes the right curly bracket, it is cleared there.

The name of the cookie used to control the parsing of \Q ... \E quoted literals.

This cookie is set in PPIx::Regexp::Token::Control when a \Q is encountered, and it persists until the next \E.

The minimum version of Perl understood by this parser, as a float. It is currently set to 5.006, since that is the minimum version of Perl accessible to the author.

The name of the PPIx::Regexp::Token::Modifier group used to control match semantics.

A string representation of a regular expression that matches the name of a named capture buffer.

The name of the class that represents the unknown structure. That is, PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Unknown.

The name of the class that represents a literal token. That is, PPIx::Regexp::Token::Literal.

The name of the class that represents the unknown token. That is, PPIx::Regexp::Token::Unknown.
