DESCRIPTION

15       A "cast" in PPI terms is one of more characters used as a prefix which
16       force a value into a different class or context.
17
18       This includes referencing, dereferencing, and a few other minor cases.
19
20       For expressions such as @$foo or "@{ $foo{bar} }" the "@" in both cases
21       represents a cast. In this case, an array dereference.
22

METHODS
