=head1 NAME
PPI::Token::QuoteLike - Quote-like operator abstract base class
=head1 INHERITANCE
PPI::Token::QuoteLike
isa PPI::Token
isa PPI::Element
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<PPI::Token::QuoteLike> class is never instantiated, and simply
provides a common abstract base class for the five quote-like operator
classes. In PPI, a "quote-like" is the set of quote-like things that
exclude the string quotes and regular expressions.
The subclasses of C<PPI::Token::QuoteLike> are:
qw{} - L<PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Words>
`` - L<PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Backtick>
qx{} - L<PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Command>
qr// - L<PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Regexp>
<FOO> - L<PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Readline>
The names are hopefully obvious enough not to have to explain what
each class is. See their pages for more details.
You may note that the backtick and command quote-like are treated
separately, even though they do the same thing. This is intentional,
as the inherit from and are processed by two different parts of the
PPI's quote engine.
