This returns the text that this token holds. For example, parsing
C<foo> will return a C start-token, a text-token, and a C end-token. And if you want to get the ``foo'' out of the text-token, call $token->text
$token->text(somestring)
This changes the string that this token holds. You probably won't need
to do this.
This returns a scalar reference to the string that this token holds.
This can be useful if you don't want to memory-copy the potentially
large text value (well, as large as a paragraph or a verbatim block)
as calling $token->text would do.
Or, if you want to alter the value, you can even do things like this:
for ( ${ $token->text_r } ) { # Aliases it with $_ !!
s/ The / the /g; # just for example
if( 'A' eq chr(65) ) { # (if in an ASCII world)
tr/\xA0/ /;
tr/\xAD//d;
}
...or however you want to alter the value...
}
You're unlikely to ever need to construct an object of this class for
yourself, but if you want to, call
<
Pod::Simple::PullParserTextToken-new( text )
