# Text::RecordParser::Tab(3pm)

read tab-delimited files

## NAME

Text::RecordParser::Tab - read tab-delimited files

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Text::RecordParser::Tab;
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module is a shortcut for getting a tab-delimited parser.

### new

Call "new" as normal but without worrying about "field\_separator" or "fs."

Because this:

```
  my $p = Text::RecordParser::Tab->new($file);
```

Is easier to type than this

```
  my $p = Text::RecordParser->new(
      filename        => $file,
      field_separator => "\t",
  );
```
