package PPI::Token::Cast; =pod =head1 NAME PPI::Token::Cast - A prefix which forces a value into a different context =head1 INHERITANCE PPI::Token::Cast isa PPI::Token isa PPI::Element =head1 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 C<@$foo> or C<@{ $foo{bar} }> the C<@> in both cases represents a cast. In this case, an array dereference. =head1 METHODS There are no additional methods beyond those provided by the parent L<PPI::Token> and L<PPI::Element> classes. Got any ideas for methods?
