# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

A "PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Regexp" object represents the quote-like operator used to construct anonymous Regexp objects, as follows.

```
  # Create a Regexp object for a module filename
  my $module = qr/\.pm$/;
```

# [METHODS](#METHODS)

The following methods are provided by this class, beyond those provided by the parent PPI::Token::QuoteLike, PPI::Token and PPI::Element classes.

## [get\_match\_string](#get_match_string)

The "get\_match\_string" method returns the portion of the string that will be compiled into the match portion of the regexp.

## [get\_substitute\_string](#get_substitute_string)

The "get\_substitute\_string" method always returns "undef", since the "qr{}" construction provides no substitution string. This method is provided for orthogonality with "PPI::Token::Regexp".

## [get\_modifiers](#get_modifiers)

The "get\_modifiers" method returns the modifiers that will be compiled into the regexp.

## [get\_delimiters](#get_delimiters)

The "get\_delimiters" method returns the delimiters of the string as an array. The first and only element is the delimiters of the string to be compiled into a match string.
