NAME

       PPI::Token::QuoteLike - Quote-like operator abstract base class

INHERITANCE

         PPI::Token::QuoteLike
         isa PPI::Token
             isa PPI::Element

DESCRIPTION

       The "PPI::Token::QuoteLike" class is never instantiated, and simply provides a common abstract base class
       for the five quote-like operator classes. In PPI, a "quote-like" is the set of quote-like things that
       exclude the string quotes and regular expressions.

       The subclasses of "PPI::Token::QuoteLike" are:

       qw{} - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Words
       `` - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Backtick
       qx{} - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Command
       qr// - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Regexp
       <FOO> - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Readline

       The  names  are  hopefully  obvious enough not to have to explain what each class is. See their pages for
       more details.

       You may note that the backtick and command quote-like are treated separately, even  though  they  do  the
       same  thing.  This  is  intentional,  as the inherit from and are processed by two different parts of the
       PPI's quote engine.
