# PPIx::QuoteLike::Token::Delimiter(3pm)

Represent a string delimiter

### perl\_version\_introduced

Experimentation with weird delimiters shows that they did not actually work until Perl 5.8.3, so we return `'5.008003'` for such delimiters.

### perl\_version\_removed

Perl 5.29.0 made fatal the use of non-standalone graphemes as string delimiters. Because non-characters and permanently unassigned code points are still allowed per *perldeprecation*, I take this to mean characters that match `"/\p{Mark}/"` (i.e. combining diacritical marks).  But this regular expression does not compile under Perl 5.6.

So:

This method returns `'5.029'` for such delimiters **provided** the requisite regular expression compiles. Otherwise it return `"undef"`.
