PPI::Token::Attribute(User Contributed Perl DocumentatPPI::Token::Attribute(3)NAMEPPI::Token::Attribute - A token for a subroutine attribute
INHERITANCEPPI::Token::Attribute
isa PPI::Token
isa PPI::Element
DESCRIPTION
In Perl, attributes are a relatively recent addition to the language.
Given the code " sub foo : bar(something) {} ", the "bar(something)"
part is the attribute.
A "PPI::Token::Attribute" token represents the entire of the attribute,
as the braces and its contents are not parsed into the tree, and are
treated by Perl (and thus by us) as a single string.
METHODS
This class provides some additional methods beyond those provided by
its PPI::Token and PPI::Element parent classes.
Got any ideas for methods? Submit a report to rt.cpan.org!
identifier
The "identifier" attribute returns the identifier part of the
attribute.
That is, for the attribute "foo(bar)", the "identifier" method would
return "foo".
parameters
The "parameters" method returns the parameter strong for the attribute.
That is, for the attribute "foo(bar)", the "parameters" method would
return "bar".
Returns the parameters as a string (including the null string '' for
the case of an attribute such as "foo()".
Returns "undef" if the attribute does not have parameters.
SUPPORT
See the support section in the main module.
