.SH NAME
PPI::Token::_QuoteEngine \- The PPI Quote Engine
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \f(CW\*(C`PPI::Token::_QuoteEngine\*(C'\fR package is designed hold functionality
for processing quotes and quote like operators, including regexes.
These have special requirements in parsing.
.PP
The \f(CW\*(C`PPI::Token::_QuoteEngine\*(C'\fR package itself provides various parsing
methods, which the PPI::Token::Quote, PPI::Token::QuoteLike and
PPI::Token::Regexp can inherit from. In this sense, it serves
as a base class.
.SS "Using this class"
.IX Subsection "Using this class"
\&\fI(Refers only to internal uses. This class does not provide a
public interface)\fR
.PP
To use these, you should initialize them as normal \f(CW\*(Aq$Class\->new\*(Aq\fR,
and then call the 'fill' method, which will cause the specialised
parser to scan forwards and parse the quote to its end point.
.PP
If \->fill returns true, finalise the token.
