NAME¶
PPI::Token::Cast - A prefix which forces a value into a different context
INHERITANCE¶
PPI::Token::Cast isa PPI::Token isa PPI::Element
DESCRIPTION¶
A "cast" in PPI terms is one of more characters used as a prefix which force a value into a different class or context.
This includes referencing, dereferencing, and a few other minor cases.
For expressions such as @$foo or "@{ $foo{bar} }" the "@" in both cases represents a cast. In this case, an array dereference.
METHODS¶
There are no additional methods beyond those provided by the parent PPI::Token and PPI::Element classes.
SUPPORT¶
See the support section in the main module.
