PPI::Token::Regexp::Match - A standard pattern match regex

  PPI::Token::Regexp::Match
  isa PPI::Token::Regexp
      isa PPI::Token

  $text =~ m/match regexp/;
  $text =~ /match regexp/;

A "PPI::Token::Regexp::Match" object represents a single match regular expression. Just to be doubly clear, here are things that are and aren't considered a match regexp.

  # Is a match regexp
  /This is a match regexp/;
  m/Old McDonald had a farm/eieio;
  
  # These are NOT match regexp
  qr/This is a regexp quote-like operator/;
  s/This is a/replace regexp/;

There are no methods available for "PPI::Token::Regexp::Match" beyond those provided by the parent PPI::Token::Regexp, PPI::Token and PPI::Element classes.

See the support section in the main module.
