# PPI::Token::Quote::Double(3pm)

A standard "double quote" token

## NAME

PPI::Token::Quote::Double - A standard "double quote" token

## INHERITANCE

```
  PPI::Token::Quote::Double
  isa PPI::Token::Quote
      isa PPI::Token
          isa PPI::Element
```

## 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

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

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

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.

## SUPPORT
