NAME

PPIx::Regexp::Token::CharClass::POSIX - Represent a POSIX character class

SYNOPSIS

 use PPIx::Regexp::Dumper;
 PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new( 'qr{ [[:alpha:]] }smx' )
     ->print();

INHERITANCE

"PPIx::Regexp::Token::CharClass::POSIX" is a PPIx::Regexp::Token::CharClass.

"PPIx::Regexp::Token::CharClass::POSIX" is the parent of PPIx::Regexp::Token::CharClass::POSIX::Unknown.

DESCRIPTION

This class represents a POSIX character class. It will only be recognized within a character class.

Note that collating symbols (e.g. "[.ch.]") and equivalence classes (e.g. "[=a=]") are valid in the POSIX standard, but are not valid in Perl regular expressions. These end up being represented by PPIx::Regexp::Token::CharClass::POSIX::Unknown, and are considered a parse failure.

METHODS

This class provides the following public methods beyond those provided by its superclass.
