TAP::Parser::Source::Perl(3)

NAME
TAP::Parser::Source::Perl - Stream Perl output

VERSION
Version 3.17

SYNOPSIS
  use TAP::Parser::Source::Perl;
  my $perl = TAP::Parser::Source::Perl->new;
  my $stream = $perl->source( [ $filename, @args ] )->get_stream;

DESCRIPTION
Takes a filename and hopefully returns a stream from it. The filename should be the name of a Perl program.

Note that this is a subclass of TAP::Parser::Source. See that module for more methods.

METHODS

  Class Methods
"new"

 my $perl = TAP::Parser::Source::Perl->new;

Returns a new "TAP::Parser::Source::Perl" object.

  Instance Methods
"source"

Getter/setter the name of the test program and any arguments it requires.

  my ($filename, @args) = @{ $perl->source };
  $perl->source( [ $filename, @args ] );

"croak"s if $filename could not be found.

"switches"

  my $switches = $perl->switches;
  my @switches = $perl->switches;
  $perl->switches( \@switches );

Getter/setter for the additional switches to pass to the perl executable. One common switch would be to set an include directory:

  $perl->switches( ['-Ilib'] );

"get_stream"

  my $stream = $source->get_stream($parser);

Returns a stream of the output generated by executing "source". Must be passed an object that implements a "make_iterator" method. Typically this is a TAP::Parser instance.

"shebang"

Get the shebang line for a script file.

  my $shebang = TAP::Parser::Source::Perl->shebang( $some_script );

May be called as a class method

"get_taint"

Decode any taint switches from a Perl shebang line.

  # $taint will be 't'
  my $taint = TAP::Parser::Source::Perl->get_taint( '#!/usr/bin/perl -t' );

  # $untaint will be undefined
  my $untaint = TAP::Parser::Source::Perl->get_taint( '#!/usr/bin/perl' );

SUBCLASSING
Please see "SUBCLASSING" in TAP::Parser for a subclassing overview.

  Example
  package MyPerlSource;

  use strict;
  use vars '@ISA';

  use Carp qw( croak );
  use TAP::Parser::Source::Perl;

  @ISA = qw( TAP::Parser::Source::Perl );

  sub source {
      my ($self, $args) = @_;
      if ($args) {
          $self->{file} = $args->[0];
          return $self->SUPER::source($args);
      }
      return $self->SUPER::source;
  }

  # use the version of perl from the shebang line in the test file
  sub _get_perl {
      my $self = shift;
      if (my $shebang = $self->shebang( $self->{file} )) {
          $shebang =~ /^#!(.*\bperl.*?)(?:(?:\s)|(?:$))/;
          return $1 if $1;
      }
      return $self->SUPER::_get_perl(@_);
  }
