NAME

Pod::Simple::PullParserStartToken −− start−tokens from Pod::Simple::PullParser

SYNOPSIS

(See Pod::Simple::PullParser)

DESCRIPTION

When you do $parser−>get_token on a Pod::Simple::PullParser object, you might get an object of this class.

This is a subclass of Pod::Simple::PullParserToken and inherits all its methods, and adds these methods:
$token−>tagname

This returns the tagname for this start-token object. For example, parsing a "=head1 ..." line will give you a start-token with the tagname of "head1", token(s) for its content, and then an end-token with the tagname of "head1".

$token−>tagname(somestring)

This changes the tagname for this start-token object. You probably won’t need to do this.

$token−>tag(...)

A shortcut for $token−>tagname(...)

$token−>is_tag(somestring) or $token−>is_tagname(somestring)

These are shortcuts for "$token−>tag() eq somestring"

$token−>attr(attrname)

This returns the value of the attrname attribute for this start-token object, or undef.

For example, parsing a L<Foo/"Bar"> link will produce a start-token with a "to" attribute with the value "Foo", a "type" attribute with the value "pod", and a "section" attribute with the value "Bar".

$token−>attr(attrname, newvalue)

This sets the attrname attribute for this start-token object to newvalue. You probably won’t need to do this.

$token−>attr_hash

This returns the hashref that is the attribute set for this start-token. This is useful if (for example) you want to ask what all the attributes are −− you can just do "keys %{$token−>attr_hash}"

You’re unlikely to ever need to construct an object of this class for yourself, but if you want to, call "Pod::Simple::PullParserStartToken−>new( tagname, attrhash )"
