=head1 DESCRIPTION

A C<PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Words> object represents a quote-like operator
that acts as a constructor for a list of words.

  # Create a list for a significant chunk of the alphabet
  my @list = qw{a b c d e f g h i j k l};

=head1 METHODS

=cut

use strict;
use PPI::Token::QuoteLike          ();
use PPI::Token::_QuoteEngine::Full ();

our $VERSION = '1.270'; # VERSION

our @ISA = qw{
	PPI::Token::_QuoteEngine::Full
	PPI::Token::QuoteLike
};

=pod

=head2 literal

Returns the words contained as a list.  Note that this method does not check the
context that the token is in; it always returns the list and not merely
the last element if the token is in scalar context.

=cut

sub literal {
	my ( $self ) = @_;

	my $content = $self->_section_content(0);
	return if !defined $content;

	# Undo backslash escaping of '\', the left delimiter,
	# and the right delimiter.  The right delimiter will
	# only exist with paired delimiters: qw() qw[] qw<> qw{}.
	my ( $left, $right ) = ( $self->_delimiters, '', '' );
	$content =~ s/\\([\Q$left$right\\\E])/$1/g;

	my @words = split ' ', $content;

	return @words;
}
