It takes its name from the `m//gc' regexps used to implement the token parsing behaviour. . It provides a number of token-parsing methods, which each extract a grammatical token from the string. It also provides wrapping methods that can be used to build up a possibly-recursive grammar structure, by applying a structure around other parts of parsing code.
