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.
