NAME

       PPI::Token::Cast - A prefix which forces a value into a different context

INHERITANCE

         PPI::Token::Cast
         isa PPI::Token
             isa PPI::Element

DESCRIPTION

       A "cast" in PPI terms is one of more characters used as a prefix which force a value into a different
       class or context.

       This includes referencing, dereferencing, and a few other minor cases.

       For expressions such as @$foo or "@{ $foo{bar} }" the "@" in both cases represents a cast. In this case,
       an array dereference.

METHODS

       There are no additional methods beyond those provided by the parent PPI::Token and PPI::Element classes.

SUPPORT

       See the support section in the main module.
