DESCRIPTION

14       The "PPI::Token::QuoteLike" class is never instantiated, and simply
15       provides a common abstract base class for the five quote-like operator
16       classes. In PPI, a "quote-like" is the set of quote-like things that
17       exclude the string quotes and regular expressions.
18
19       The subclasses of "PPI::Token::QuoteLike" are:
20
21       qw{} - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Words
22       `` - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Backtick
23       qx{} - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Command
24       qr// - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Regexp
25       <FOO> - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Readline
26
27       The names are hopefully obvious enough not to have to explain what each
28       class is. See their pages for more details.
29
30       You may note that the backtick and command quote-like are treated sepa‐
31       rately, even though they do the same thing. This is intentional, as the
32       inherit from and are processed by two different parts of the PPI's
33       quote engine.
