16 "PPIx::Regexp::Lexer" is a PPIx::Regexp::Support.
17
18 "PPIx::Regexp::Lexer" has no descendants.
19
21 This class takes the token stream generated by PPIx::Regexp::Tokenizer
22 and generates the parse tree.
23
25 This class provides the following public methods. Methods not
26 documented here are private, and unsupported in the sense that the
27 author reserves the right to change or remove them without notice.
28
29 new
30 This method instantiates the lexer. It takes as its argument either a
31 PPIx::Regexp::Tokenizer or the text to be parsed. In the latter case
32 the tokenizer is instantiated from the text.
33
34 Any optional name/value pairs after the first argument are passed to
35 the tokenizer, which interprets them or not as the case may be.
36
37 errstr
38 This method returns the error string from the last attempt to
39 instantiate a "PPIx::Regexp::Lexer". If the last attempt succeeded, the
40 error will be "undef".
41
42 failures
43 print $lexer->failures(), " parse failures\n";
44
45 This method returns the number of parse failures encountered. A parse
46 failure is either a tokenization failure (see
47 PPIx::Regexp::Tokenizer->failures()) or a structural error.
48
49 lex
50 This method lexes the tokens in the text, and returns the lexed list of
51 elements.
52
54 Support is by the author. Please file bug reports at
55 <http://rt.cpan.org>, or in electronic mail to the author.
