PPI::Token::_QuoteEngine - The PPI Quote Engine

The PPI::Token::_QuoteEngine package is designed hold functionality for processing quotes and quote like operators,
including regexes.
These have special requirements in parsing.
The PPI::Token::_QuoteEngine package itself provides various parsing methods,
which the PPI::Token::Quote,
PPI::Token::QuoteLike and PPI::Token::Regexp can inherit from.
In this sense,
it serves as a base class.
(Refers only to internal uses. This class does not provide a public interface)
To use these,
you should initialize them as normal '$Class->new',
and then call the 'fill' method,
which will cause the specialised parser to scan forwards and parse the quote to its end point.
If ->fill returns true, finalise the token.

See the support section in the main module.
