Description
The "dashed bareword" token represents literal values like "-foo".
NOTE: this class is currently unused. All tokens that should be PPI::Token::DashedWords are just normal
PPI::Token::Word instead. That actually makes sense, since there really is nothing special about this
class except that dashed words cannot be subroutine names or keywords. As such, this class may be
removed from PPI in the future.
Inheritance
PPI::Token::DashedWord
isa PPI::Token
isa PPI::Element
Methods
literal
Returns the value of the dashed word as a string. This differs from "content" because "-Foo'Bar" expands
to "-Foo::Bar".
