# Padre::Task::LexicalReplaceVariable(3pm)

Lexically variable replace using PPI

## NAME

Padre::Task::LexicalReplaceVariable - Lexically variable replace using PPI

## SYNOPSIS

```
  my $replacer = Padre::Task::LexicalReplaceVariable->new(
          document    => $document_obj,
          location    => [ $line, $column ], # the position of *any* occurrence of the variable
          replacement => '$foo',
  );
  $replacer->schedule;
```

## DESCRIPTION

Given a location in the document (line/column), determines the name of the variable at this position, finds where the variable was defined, and **lexically** replaces all occurrences with another variable.

The replacement can either be provided explicitly by the user (using the `"replacement"` option) or the user may set the `"to_camel_case"` or `"from_camel_case"` options. In that case the variable will be converted to/from camel case. With the latter options, `"ucfirst"` will force the upper-casing of the first letter (as is typical with global variables).

## SEE ALSO

This class inherits from `"Padre::Task::PPI"`.
