    TERM is one of the macros defined and used in the perl source file toke.c. This macro is used to return lexical tokens which are terms in an expression.

    The subroutines in toke.c constitute the perl lexical analyzer. They are called by the parser to obtain a sequence of tokens from the source of the Perl program being interpreted.

    TERM(WORD) returns a WORD token.
