VERSION
       Version 3.43

SYNOPSIS
         use [TAP::Parser::Source](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/TAP%3A%3AParser%3A%3ASource/markdown);
         use [TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::Executable](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/TAP%3A%3AParser%3A%3ASourceHandler%3A%3AExecutable/markdown);

         my $source = [TAP::Parser::Source](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/TAP%3A%3AParser%3A%3ASource/markdown)->new->raw( \*TAP_FILE );
         $source->assemble_meta;

         my $class = '[TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::Handle](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/TAP%3A%3AParser%3A%3ASourceHandler%3A%3AHandle/markdown)';
         my $vote  = $class->can_handle( $source );
         my $iter  = $class->make_iterator( $source );

DESCRIPTION
       This is a raw TAP stored in an IO Handle [TAP::Parser::SourceHandler](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/TAP%3A%3AParser%3A%3ASourceHandler/markdown)
       class.  It has 2 jobs:

       1. Figure out if the [TAP::Parser::Source](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/TAP%3A%3AParser%3A%3ASource/markdown) it's given is an [IO::Handle](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/IO%3A%3AHandle/markdown) or
       GLOB containing raw TAP output ("can_handle").

       2. Creates an iterator for [IO::Handle](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/IO%3A%3AHandle/markdown)'s & globs ("make_iterator").

       Unless you're writing a plugin or subclassing [TAP::Parser](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/TAP%3A%3AParser/markdown), you probably
       won't need to use this module directly.

         0.8 if $source is a glob

       "make_iterator"

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

       Returns a new [TAP::Parser::Iterator::Stream](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/TAP%3A%3AParser%3A%3AIterator%3A%3AStream/markdown) for the source.

       "iterator_class"

       The class of iterator to use, override if you're sub-classing.
