PPIx::Regexp::Dumper(3User Contributed Perl DocumentatiPPIx::Regexp::Dumper(3)

NAME
       PPIx::Regexp::Dumper - Dump the results of parsing regular expressions

SYNOPSIS
	use PPIx::Regexp::Dumper;
	PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new( 'qr{foo}smx'	)
	    ->print();

INHERITANCE
       "PPIx::Regexp::Dumper" is a PPIx::Regexp::Support.

       "PPIx::Regexp::Dumper" has no descendants.

DESCRIPTION
       This class generates a formatted	dump of	a PPIx::Regexp::Element	object
       (or any subclass	thereof), a PPIx::Regexp::Tokenizer object, or a
       string that can be made into one	of these.

METHODS
       This class provides the following public	methods. Methods not
       documented here are private, and	unsupported in the sense that the
       author reserves the right to change or remove them without notice.

   new
	my $dumper = PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new(
	    '/foo/', ordinal =>	1,
	);

       This static method instantiates the dumper. It takes the	string,
       PPI::Element, PPIx::Regexp::Element, or PPIx::Regexp::Tokenizer to be
       dumped as the first argument.  Optional further arguments may be	passed
       as name/value pairs.

       The following options are recognized:

       default_modifiers array_reference
	   This	argument is a reference	to a list of default modifiers to be
	   applied to the statement being parsed. See PPIx::Regexp new() for
	   the details.

       encoding	name
	   This	argument is the	name of	the encoding of	the regular
	   expression. If specified, it	is passed through to
	   PPIx::Regexp->new().	It also	causes an "Encode::encode" to be done
	   on any parse	content	dumped.

       explain Boolean
	   If true, this option	causes the "explain()" output of each object
	   to be dumped.

       indent number
	   This	argument is the	number of additional spaces to indent each
	   level of the	parse hierarchy. This is ignored if either the "test"
	   or "tokens" argument	is true.

	   The default is 2.

       margin number
	   This	is the number of spaces	to indent the top level	of the parse
	   hierarchy. This is ignored if the "test" argument is	true.

	   The default is zero.

       ordinal Boolean
	   If true, this option	causes the "ordinal" values of
	   PPIx::Regexp::Token::Literal	objects	to be dumped.

       perl_version Boolean
	   If true, this option	causes the "perl_version_introduced" and
	   "perl_version_removed" values associated with each object dumped to
	   be displayed.

       postderef Boolean
	   THIS	ARGUMENT IS DEPRECATED.	 See DEPRECATION NOTICE	in
	   PPIx::QuoteLike for the details.

	   If true, postfix dereferences are recognized	in code	and
	   interpolations.  See	the tokenizer's	new() for details.

       ppi Boolean
	   If true, any	Perl code contained in the object will be dumped.

       short Boolean
	   If true, leading 'PPIx::Regexp::' will be removed from the class
	   names in the	output.

       strict Boolean
	   This	option is passed on to the parser, where it specifies whether
	   the parse should assume "use	re 'strict'" is	in effect.

	   The 'strict'	pragma was introduced in Perl 5.22, and	its
	   documentation says that it is experimental, and that	there is no
	   commitment to backward compatibility. The same applies to the parse
	   produced when this option is	asserted.

	   The default is false.

       significant Boolean
	   If true, this option	causes only significant	elements to be dumped.

	   The default is false.

       test Boolean
	   If true, this option	causes the output to be	formatted as a
	   regression test rather than as a straight dump. The output produced
	   by asserting	this option is explicitly undocumented,	in the sense
	   that	the author reserves the	right to change	the generated output
	   without notice of any kind.

	   The default is false.

       tokens Boolean
	   If true, this option	causes a dump of tokenizer output rather than
	   of a	full parse of the regular expression. This is forced true if
	   the dump is of a PPIx::Regexp::Tokenizer.

	   The default is false.

       trace number
	   If greater than zero, this option causes a trace of the parse. This
	   option is unsupported in the	sense that the author reserves the
	   right to change it without notice.

	   The default is zero.

       verbose number
	   If greater than zero, this option causes additional information to
	   be given about the elements found. This option is unsupported in
	   the sense that the author reserves the right	to change it without
	   notice.

	   The default is zero.

       If the thing to be dumped was a string, unrecognized arguments are
       passed to "PPIx::Regexp::Tokenizer->new()". Otherwise they are ignored.

   list
	print map { "$_\n" } $dumper->list();

       This method produces an array containing	the dump output, one line per
       element.	The output has no left margin applied, and no newlines.

   print
	$dumper->print();

       This method simply prints the result of "string"	to standard out.

   string
	print $dumper->string();

       This method adds	left margin and	newlines to the	output of "list",
       concatenates the	result into a single string, and returns that string.
