          isa PPI::Element
```

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

A "PPI::Token::Quote::Double" object represents a double-quoted interpolating string.

The string is treated as a single entity, PPI will not try to understand what is in the string during the parsing process.

# [METHODS](#METHODS)

There are several methods available for "PPI::Token::Quote::Double", beyond those provided by the parent PPI::Token::Quote, PPI::Token and PPI::Element classes.

## [interpolations](#interpolations)

The interpolations method checks to see if the double quote actually contains any interpolated variables.

Returns true if the string contains interpolations, or false if not.

## [simplify](#simplify)

For various reasons, some people find themselves compelled to have their code in the simplest form possible.

The "simplify" method will, if possible, modify a simple double-quoted string token in place, turning it into the equivalent single-quoted string. If the token is modified, it is reblessed into the PPI::Token::Quote::Single package.

Because the length of the content is not changed, there is no need to call the document's "flush\_locations" method.

The object itself is returned as a convenience.
