=head1 NAME

prenav - Navigate a PPIx::Regexp parse tree

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 prenav 's/(\w+)/\u$1/g'
 prenav> find_first Token::CharClass::Simple
 PPIx::Regexp::Token::CharClass::Simple  \w
 prenav> dump verbose 1
 PPIx::Regexp::Token::CharClass::Simple  '\\w'  significant
     can_be_quantified
 prenav> parent
 PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Capture    (\w+)
 prenav> exit

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This script takes as its argument a string to be parsed as a regular
expression, and prompts the user for navigation commands. A navigation
command is any method that returns another element in the parse tree.

Unless documented otherwise, all commands apply to the current
object. Initially the current object is the L<PPIx::Regexp|PPIx::Regexp>
object generated by the parse. Once a navigation command is issued, the
object navigated to becomes the current object. If the navigation
command does not specify an object (e.g. C<child 5> when the current
object has fewer than 5 children) the current object remains unchanged.

In addition to the navigation methods, any method that returns a scalar
value can be used as a command. The value returned will be displayed.

In addition to all the above, the following commands are recognized:

=over

=item capture_names

This command wraps the
L<< PPIx::Regexp->capture_names()|PPIx::Regexp/capture_names >> method,
joining the results into a comma-delimited string.

=item dump

This command dumps the current object. Options to
L<< PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new()|PPIx::Regexp::Dumper/new> may be
specified as arguments to the command. See the L<SYNOPSIS|/SYNOPSIS> for
an example.

=item exit

This comamnd terminates the script.

=item help

This command displays this documentation.

=item nav

 nav

This command displays the method calls and arguments needed to navigate
from the root of the parse tree to the current object. Yes, this is a
perfectly good method, but we wrap the results of that method in some
semi-nice formatting.

Any arguments are ignored

=item parse

 parse s/ ( \w+ ) foo \1 /bar/smx

This command provides another regular expression to parse. If the parse
succeeds, the previous regular expression is abandoned, and the new
L<PPIx::Regexp|PPIx::Regexp> object becomes the current object.

The new regular expression is taken to be everything on the line after
the whit espace after the word C<parse>. It should B<not> be quoted.

=item reset

This command selects the top-level object as the current object. The
C<top> command does the same thing, but C<top> does it by running
through the parent chain, where C<reset> simply slam-dunks the retained
L<PPIx::Regexp|PPIx::Regexp> object.
