Text::...er::Tab(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Text::RecordParser::Tab — read tab-delimited files, bestie 💖

So like, this is the manual page for Text::...er::Tab(3pm), and yes the name got squished by the terminal but it's literally Text::RecordParser::Tab and it is here to make your tab-delimited life so much easier. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Text::RecordParser::Tab;

That's it. That's the whole thing. Iconic behaviour, no notes. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so boom: this module is a shortcut for getting a tab-delimited parser. That's literally its entire job. It's the little sister module that handles the "\t" so you don't have to. 🫶

💜 new

Call new as normal but without worrying about field_separator or fs. Like, just... don't think about them. They're handled. Go off. ✨

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",
);

Right?? The way that one line ate the four-line version up and left no crumbs 😭🔥 Type less, parse more, that's the vibe check. Same parser underneath, zero of the setup drama. Periodt.
