"TAP::Object" provides a default constructor and exception model for all "TAP::*" classes. Exceptions are raised using Carp.
"new"
Create a new object. Any arguments passed to "new" will be passed on to the "_initialize" method. Returns a new object.
"_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.
