.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is an abstract base class for TAP::Parser::Source handlers / handlers.
.PP
A \f(CW\*(C`TAP::Parser::SourceHandler\*(C'\fR does whatever is necessary to produce & capture
a stream of \s-1TAP\s0 from the \fIraw\fR source, and package it up in a
TAP::Parser::Iterator for the parser to consume.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`SourceHandlers\*(C'\fR must implement the \fIsource detection & handling\fR interface
used by TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory.  At 2 methods, the interface is pretty
simple: \*(L"can_handle\*(R" and \*(L"make_source\*(R".
.PP
Unless you're writing a new TAP::Parser::SourceHandler, a plugin, or
subclassing TAP::Parser, you probably won't need to use this module directly.

\&\f(CW$source\fR is a TAP::Parser::Source.
.PP
Returns a number between \f(CW0\fR & \f(CW1\fR reflecting how confidently the raw source
can be handled.  For example, \f(CW0\fR means the source cannot handle it, \f(CW0.5\fR
means it may be able to, and \f(CW1\fR means it definitely can.  See
\&\*(L"detect_source\*(R" in TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory for details on how this is used.

.SH "SUBCLASSING"
.IX Header "SUBCLASSING"
Please see \*(L"\s-1SUBCLASSING\*(R"\s0 in TAP::Parser for a subclassing overview, and any
of the subclasses that ship with this module as an example.  What follows is
a quick overview.
.PP
Start by familiarizing yourself with TAP::Parser::Source and
TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory.  TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::RawTAP is
the easiest sub-class to use as an example.
.PP
It's important to point out that if you want your subclass to be automatically
used by TAP::Parser you'll have to and make sure it gets loaded somehow.
If you're using prove you can write an App::Prove plugin.  If you're
using TAP::Parser or TAP::Harness directly (e.g. through a custom script,
ExtUtils::MakeMaker, or Module::Build) you can use the \f(CW\*(C`config\*(C'\fR option
which will cause \*(L"load_sources\*(R" in TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory to load your
subclass).
.PP
Don't forget to register your class with
\&\*(L"register_handler\*(R" in TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory.
