PPIx::Regexp::Util(3)

NAME
PPIx::Regexp::Util - Utility functions for PPIx::Regexp;

SYNOPSIS
 use PPIx::Regexp::Util qw{ __instance };
     .
     .
     .
 __instance( $foo, 'Bar' )
     or die '$foo is not a Bar';

DESCRIPTION
This module contains utility functions for PPIx::Regexp which it is convenient to centralize.

The contents of this module are private to the PPIx::Regexp package. This documentation is provided for the author's convenience only. Anything in this module is subject to change without notice. Caveat user.

This module exports nothing by default.

SUBROUTINES
This module can export the following subroutines:

  __instance
 __instance( $foo, 'Bar' )
     and print '$foo isa Bar', "\n";

This subroutine returns true if its first argument is an instance of the class specified by its second argument. Unlike "UNIVERSAL::isa", the result is always false unless the first argument is a reference.

SEE ALSO
Params::Util, which I recommend, but in the case of "PPIx::Regexp" I did not want to introduce a dependency on an XS module when all I really wanted was the function of that module's "_INSTANCE()" subroutine.

SUPPORT
Support is by the author. Please file bug reports at <http://rt.cpan.org>, or in electronic mail to the author.
