Perl6/Tokener version 0.01 ============================ This is the first version of the Perl 6 tokener. There are known bugs, which will soon be addressed. However, this much is enough to allow you to start writing a parser. And that's gotta rock. SYNOPSIS use Perl6::Tokener; my $t = new Perl6::Tokener(file=>"foo.pl", buffer => $code); while ($t->{buffer}) { my ($type, $token) = $t->toke(); ... } DESCRIPTION I don't think there's really much I need to say about this. It isn't perfect, but I'm working on it. The synop- sis pretty much gives you all you need to know to drive the thing, and, bluntly, if you're futzing with tokenising Perl 6, you're already beyond the need for most kinds of documentation. So have fun. Oh, one thing - when you're parsing, you probably want to discard the type of everything called "operator" or "term" and just use the token value. Oh, and white space will return "undef" for token and type, so don't try using this in a "while" loop.
