TAP::F...ession(3perl)

💖 TAP::Formatter::Console::ParallelSession 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, and it's giving very niche-but-iconic. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

TAP::Formatter::Console::ParallelSession — harness output delegate for parallel console output 💅

like, it's the little guy that makes your console look cute when your tests are running all at once. no cap.

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

Version 3.52 — yes she has a version number, she's that girl ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she actually do?? she provides console orientated output formatting for TAP::Harness when it's run with multiple "jobs" in TAP::Harness 🔥

that's it. that's the whole vibe. when your harness is juggling a bunch of jobs at the same time, this is the one making the console output not look like a crime scene. main character energy fr fr 💜

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so real talk — the original page just leaves this heading here with nothing under it. no code, no example, nothing. empty. a blank canvas. and honestly? iconic of her 🙈

so like, no synopsis snippet to copy here bestie, because there genuinely isn't one on the page. can't invent what isn't there, that would be lying and we don't do that 💖

⭐ METHODS ⭐

👑 Class Methods 👑

header

Output test preamble 🌈

(that's it — she prints the preamble, does her lil intro, sets the scene. opening number energy.)

result

Called by the harness for each line of TAP it receives 💫

literally every single line of TAP that comes through, the harness hands it over to this method. every. one. she's keeping up, no notes.

clear_for_close

no description given on the page, so all we know is she exists and she's called clear_for_close 💅

close_test

same situation bestie — no description on the page, just the name close_test and nothing else. mysterious. we love a little mystery 🎀

---

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

ngl there's no SEE ALSO section on this page, so i'm not gonna make one up. being honest is the vibe check that matters most ✨

---

⚠️ quick note bestie: everything above is exactly what the page says. no extra tips, no guessing at behaviour, no invented flags. if the page didn't say it, i didn't say it. periodt. 💖

---

okay that's the whole page!! short and sweet, a true mini-bop 🌸 and for the cute sign-off: this one comes from perl v5.44.0, dated 2026-10-17 🫶 thanks for reading bestie, go run some parallel tests and slay 💅✨
