PPI::Token::Word - The generic "word" Token
PPI::Token::Word isa PPI::Token isa PPI::Element
A PPI::Token::Word
object is a PPI-specific representation of several
different types of word-like things, and is one of the most common Token
classes found in typical documents.
Specifically, it includes not only barewords, but also any other valid
Perl identifier including non-operator keywords and core functions, and
any include ::
separators inside it, as long as it fits the
format of a class, function, etc.
There are no methods available for PPI::Token::Word
beyond those
provided by its PPI::Token and PPI::Element parent
classes.
We expect to add additional methods to help further resolve a Word as a function, method, etc over time. If you need such a thing right now, look at Perl::Critic::Utils.
Returns the value of the Word as a string. This assumes (often
incorrectly) that the Word is a bareword and not a function, method,
keyword, etc. This differs from content
because Foo'Bar
expands
to Foo::Bar
.
