TAP::Object - Base class that provides common functionality to all "TAP::*" modules

"TAP::Object" provides a default constructor and exception model for all "TAP::*" classes. Exceptions are raised using Carp.

ClassMethods"new" Create a new object. Any arguments passed to "new" will be passed on to the "_initialize" method. Returns a new object. InstanceMethods"_initialize" Initializes a new object. This method is a stub by default, you should override it as appropriate. Note: "new" expects you to return $self or raise an exception. See "_croak", and Carp. "_croak" Raise an exception using "croak" from Carp, eg: $self->_croak( 'why me?', 'aaarrgh!' ); May also be called as a class method. $class->_croak( 'this works too' ); "_confess" Raise an exception using "confess" from Carp, eg: $self->_confess( 'why me?', 'aaarrgh!' ); May also be called as a class method. $class->_confess( 'this works too' ); "_construct" Create a new instance of the specified class. "mk_methods" Create simple getter/setters. __PACKAGE__->mk_methods(@method_names); perl v5.40.1 2025-07-27 TAP::Object(3perl)
