NAME

       TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::File - Stream TAP from a text file.

VERSION

       Version 3.23

SYNOPSIS

	 use TAP::Parser::Source;
	 use TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::File;

	 my $source = TAP::Parser::Source->new->raw( 'file.tap' );
	 $source->assemble_meta;

	 my $class = 'TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::File';
	 my $vote  = $class->can_handle( $source );
	 my $iter  = $class->make_iterator( $source );

DESCRIPTION

       This is a raw TAP stored in a file TAP::Parser::SourceHandler - it has 2 jobs:

       1. Figure out if the raw source it's given is a file containing raw TAP output.	See TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory for more details.

       2. Takes raw TAP from the text file given, and converts into an iterator.

       Unless you're writing a plugin or subclassing TAP::Parser, you probably won't need to use this module directly.

METHODS

   Class Methods
       "can_handle"

	 my $vote = $class->can_handle( $source );

       Only votes if $source looks like a regular file.  Casts the following votes:

	 0.9 if it's a .tap file
	 0.9 if it has an extension matching any given in user config.

       "make_iterator"

	 my $iterator = $class->make_iterator( $source );

       Returns a new TAP::Parser::Iterator::Stream for the source.  "croak"s on error.

       "iterator_class"

       The class of iterator to use, override if you're sub-classing.  Defaults to TAP::Parser::Iterator::Stream.

CONFIGURATION

	 {
	  extensions => [ @case_insensitive_exts_to_match ]
	 }
