27 PPIx::Regexp package.

30 This class provides the following public methods. Methods not
31 documented here are private, and unsupported in the sense that the
32 author reserves the right to change or remove them without notice.
33
34 can_be_quantified
35 $token->can_be_quantified()
36 and print "This token can be quantified.\n";
37
38 This method returns true if the token can be quantified.
39
40 is_quantifier
41 $token->is_quantifier()
42 and print "This token is a quantifier.\n";
43
44 This method returns true if the token is a quantifier. You can not tell
45 this from the token's class, because a right curly bracket may
46 represent a quantifier for the purposes of figuring out whether a
47 greediness token is possible.
