Description: Pattern-based Perl Recognizer
 The PPR module provides a single regular expression that defines a set of
 independent subpatterns suitable for matching entire Perl documents, as well
 as a wide range of individual syntactic components of Perl (i.e. statements,
 expressions, control blocks, variables, etc.)
 .
 The regex does not "parse" Perl (that is, it does not build a syntax tree,
 like the PPI module does). Instead it simply "recognizes" standard Perl
 constructs, or new syntaxes composed from Perl constructs.
 .
 Its features and capabilities therefore complement those of the PPI module,
 rather than replacing them.
