Pod::Simple::PullParserTextToken -- text-tokens from Pod::Simple::PullParser

CONTENTS

(See Pod::Simple::PullParser)

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... }

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 )
