TAP::P...nknown(3perl)

✨ NAME ✨

TAP::Parser::Result::Unknown — the token for when your parser is like "girl what 💀 I do not know her".

(also hi bestie, this is straight outta the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, so you know it's legit 💅)

🌸 VERSION 🌸

Version 3.52

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so real talk: this is a subclass of TAP::Parser::Result. Nothing more, nothing less. It's giving "chip off the old block" energy except the block is a base class.

So here's the vibe: if the parser hits a token line and is not recognizing it — like, at all, no cap — it hands you back a token of this class. That's it, that's the whole job. It's the "idk her" token. 🙈

Example time, bestie:

1..5
VERSION 7
ok 1 - woo hooo!
... woo hooo! is cool!

In the above TAP, the second and fourth lines will generate Unknown tokens. Periodt. 🎀
