DETAILS
This module defines manifest constants for use by the various PPIx::Regexp
modules. These constants are to be considered private to the PPIx::Regexp
system, and the author reserves the right to change them without notice.
This module exports the following manifest constants:
COOKIE_CLASS
The name of the cookie used to control the construction of character classes.
This cookie is set in PPIx::Regexp::Token::Structure when the left square bracket is encountered, and cleared in the same module when a right square bracket is encountered.
COOKIE_QUANT
The name of the cookie used to control the construction of curly bracketed quantifiers.
This cookie is set in PPIx::Regexp::Token::Structure when a left curly bracket is encountered. It requests itself to be cleared on encountering anything other than a literal comma, a literal digit, or an interpolation, or if more than one comma is encountered. If it survives until PPIx::Regexp::Token::Structure processes the right curly bracket, it is cleared there.
COOKIE_QUOTE
The name of the cookie used to control the parsing of \Q ... \E
quoted literals.
This cookie is set in PPIx::Regexp::Token::Control when a \Q
is encountered, and it persists until the next \E
.
MINIMUM_PERL
The minimum version of Perl understood by this parser, as a float. It is currently set to 5.000, since that is the minimum version of Perl accessible to the author.
MODIFIER_GROUP_MATCH_SEMANTICS
The name of the PPIx::Regexp::Token::Modifier group used to control match semantics.
RE_CAPTURE_NAME
A string representation of a regular expression that matches the name of a named capture buffer.
STRUCTURE_UNKNOWN
The name of the class that represents the unknown structure. That is, PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Unknown.
TOKEN_LITERAL
The name of the class that represents a literal token. That is, PPIx::Regexp::Token::Literal.
TOKEN_UNKNOWN
The name of the class that represents the unknown token. That is, PPIx::Regexp::Token::Unknown.
