SYNOPSIS
$n = 1234; # decimal integer
$n = 0b1110011; # binary integer

$n = 0x1234; # hexadecimal integer

PPI::Token::Number
isa PPI::Token
isa PPI::ElementDESCRIPTION
The PPI::Token::Number class is used for tokens that represent numbers, in the various types that Perl supports.
METHODS
base
Returns the base for the number. This is 10 for decimal, 16 for hexadecimal, etc.
TO DO
- Add proper unit testing to this
- Add support for exponential notation
- What the hell is a base256 number and why did I use it. Surely it should be something more like "base1000" or "version".
SUPPORT
See the support section in the main module.
