# TAP::Parser::Iterator::Stream(3pm)

Iterator for filehandle-based TAP sources

## NAME

TAP::Parser::Iterator::Stream - Iterator for filehandle-based TAP sources

## VERSION

Version 3.50

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use TAP::Parser::Iterator::Stream;
  open( TEST, 'test.tap' );
  my $it   = TAP::Parser::Iterator::Stream->new(\*TEST);
  my $line = $it->next;
```

## DESCRIPTION

This is a simple iterator wrapper for reading from filehandles, used by TAP::Parser.  Unless you're writing a plugin or subclassing, you probably won't need to use this module directly.

## METHODS

### Class Methods

*"new"*

Create an iterator.  Expects one argument containing a filehandle.

### Instance Methods

*"next"*

Iterate through it, of course.

*"next\_raw"*

Iterate raw input without applying any fixes for quirky input syntax.

*"wait"*

Get the wait status for this iterator. Always returns zero.

*"exit"*

Get the exit status for this iterator. Always returns zero.

## ATTRIBUTION

Originally ripped off from Test::Harness.
