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.
