Pod::Simple::PullParserTextToken(3pm)
NAME
Pod::Simple::PullParserTextToken -- text-tokens from
Pod::Simple::PullParser
SYNOPSIS
(See Pod::Simple::PullParser)
DESCRIPTION
When you do $parser->get_token on a Pod::Simple::PullParser, you might
get an object of this class.
This is a subclass of Pod::Simple::PullParserToken and inherits all its
methods, and adds these methods:
$token->text
This returns the text that this token holds. For example, parsing
C<foo> will return a C start-token, a text-token, and a C end-
token. And if you want to get the "foo" out of the text-token,
call "$token->text"
$token->text(somestring)
This changes the string that this token holds. You probably won't
need to do this.
$token->text_r()
This returns a scalar reference to the string that this token
holds. This can be useful if you don't want to memory-copy the
potentially large text value (well, as large as a paragraph or a
verbatim block) as calling $token->text would do.
Or, if you want to alter the value, you can even do things like
this:
for ( ${ $token->text_r } ) { # Aliases it with $_ !!
s/ The / the /g; # just for example
if( 'A' eq chr(65) ) { # (if in an ASCII world)
tr/\xA0/ /;
tr/\xAD//d;
}
...or however you want to alter the value...
(Note that starting with Perl v5.8, you can use, e.g.,
my $nbsp = chr utf8::unicode_to_native(0xA0);
s/$nbsp/ /g;
to handle the above regardless if it's an ASCII world or not)
}
You're unlikely to ever need to construct an object of this class for
yourself, but if you want to, call
"Pod::Simple::PullParserTextToken->new( text )"
