=head1 NAME
PPI::Token::Regexp - Regular expression abstract base class
=head1 INHERITANCE
PPI::Token::Regexp
isa PPI::Token
isa PPI::Element
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<PPI::Token::Regexp> class is never instantiated, and simply
provides a common abstract base class for the three regular expression
classes. These being:
m// - L<PPI::Token::Regexp::Match>
s/// - L<PPI::Token::Regexp::Substitute>
tr/// - L<PPI::Token::Regexp::Transliterate>
The names are hopefully obvious enough not to have to explain what
each class is. See their pages for more details.
To save some confusion, it's worth pointing out here that C<qr//> is
B<not> a regular expression (which PPI takes to mean something that
will actually examine or modify a string), but rather a quote-like
operator that acts as a constructor for compiled L<Regexp> objects.
