13 When you do $parser->get_token on a Pod::Simple::PullParser, you might
14 get an object of this class.
15
16 This is a subclass of Pod::Simple::PullParserToken and inherits all its
17 methods, and adds these methods:
18
19 $token->text
20 This returns the text that this token holds. For example, parsing
21 C<foo> will return a C start-token, a text-token, and a C end-
22 token. And if you want to get the "foo" out of the text-token,
23 call "$token->text"
24
25 $token->text(somestring)
26 This changes the string that this token holds. You probably won't
27 need to do this.
28
29 $token->text_r()
30 This returns a scalar reference to the string that this token
31 holds. This can be useful if you don't want to memory-copy the
32 potentially large text value (well, as large as a paragraph or a
33 verbatim block) as calling $token->text would do.
34
35 Or, if you want to alter the value, you can even do things like
36 this:
37
38 for ( ${ $token->text_r } ) { # Aliases it with $_ !!
39
40 s/ The / the /g; # just for example
41
42 if( 'A' eq chr(65) ) { # (if in an ASCII world)
43 tr/\xA0/ /;
44 tr/\xAD//d;
45 }
46
47 ...or however you want to alter the value...
48 }
49
50 You're unlikely to ever need to construct an object of this class for
51 yourself, but if you want to, call
52 "Pod::Simple::PullParserTextToken->new( text )"
