PPI::Token::Quote::Double - A standard "double quote" token

PPI::Token::Quote::Double
isa PPI::Token::Quote
isa PPI::Token
isa PPI::Element

A PPI::Token::Quote::Double object represents a double-quoted interpolating string.
The string is treated as a single entity, PPI will not try to understand what is in the string during the parsing process.

There are several methods available for PPI::Token::Quote::Double, beyond those provided by the parent PPI::Token::Quote, PPI::Token and PPI::Element classes.
Got any ideas for methods? Submit a report to rt.cpan.org!
The interpolations method checks to see if the double quote actually contains any interpolated variables.
Returns true if the string contains interpolations, or false if not.
# Get a set of objects my $Document = PPI::Document->new(\<<'END_PERL'); "no interpolations" "no \@interpolations" "has $interpolation" "has @interpolation" "has \\@interpolation" "" # False content to test double-negation scoping END_PERL isa_ok( $Document, 'PPI::Document' ); my $strings = $Document->find('Token::Quote::Double'); is( scalar(@$strings), 6, 'Found the 5 test strings' ); is( $strings->[0]->interpolations, '', 'String 1: No interpolations' ); is( $strings->[1]->interpolations, '', 'String 2: No interpolations' ); is( $strings->[2]->interpolations, 1, 'String 3: Has interpolations' ); is( $strings->[3]->interpolations, 1, 'String 4: Has interpolations' ); is( $strings->[4]->interpolations, 1, 'String 5: Has interpolations' ); is( $strings->[5]->interpolations, '', 'String 6: No interpolations' );
For various reasons, some people find themselves compelled to have their code in the simplest form possible.
The simply method will turn a simple double-quoted string into the equivalent single-quoted string.
If the double can be simplified, it will be modified in place and returned as a convenience, or returns false if the string cannot be simplified.
my $Document = PPI::Document->new( \'print "foo";' ); isa_ok( $Document, 'PPI::Document' ); my $Double = $Document->find_first('Token::Quote::Double'); isa_ok( $Double, 'PPI::Token::Quote::Double' ); is( $Double->string, 'foo', '->string returns as expected' );
