NAME
       TAP::Parser::ResultFactory - Factory for creating TAP::Parser output
       objects
SYNOPSIS
         use TAP::Parser::ResultFactory;
         my $token   = {...};
         my $factory = TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->new;
         my $result  = $factory->make_result( $token );
VERSION
       Version 3.28
   DESCRIPTION
       This is a simple factory class which returns a TAP::Parser::Result
       subclass representing the current bit of test data from TAP (usually a
       single line).  It is used primarily by TAP::Parser::Grammar.  Unless
       you're subclassing, you probably won't need to use this module
       directly.
   METHODS
   Class Methods
       "new"
       Creates a new factory class.  Note: You currently don't need to
       instantiate a factory in order to use it.
       "make_result"
       Returns an instance the appropriate class for the test token passed in.
         my $result = TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->make_result($token);
       Can also be called as an instance method.
       "class_for"
       Takes one argument: $type.  Returns the class for this $type, or
       "croak"s with an error.
       "register_type"
       Takes two arguments: $type, $class
       This lets you override an existing type with your own custom type, or
       register a completely new type, eg:
         # create a custom result type:
         package MyResult;
         use strict;
         use vars qw(@ISA);
         @ISA = 'TAP::Parser::Result';
         # register with the factory:
         TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->register_type( 'my_type' => __PACKAGE__ );
         # use it:
         my $r = TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->( { type => 'my_type' } );
       Your custom type should then be picked up automatically by the
       TAP::Parser.
SUBCLASSING
       Please see "SUBCLASSING" in TAP::Parser for a subclassing overview.
       There are a few things to bear in mind when creating your own
       "ResultFactory":
       1.  The factory itself is never instantiated (this may change in the
           future).  This means that "_initialize" is never called.
       2.  "TAP::Parser::Result->new" is never called, $tokens are reblessed.
           This will change in a future version!
       3.  TAP::Parser::Result subclasses will register themselves with
           TAP::Parser::ResultFactory directly:
             package MyFooResult;
             TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->register_type( foo => __PACKAGE__ );
           Of course, it's up to you to decide whether or not to ignore them.
   Example
         package MyResultFactory;
         use strict;
         use vars '@ISA';
         use MyResult;
         use TAP::Parser::ResultFactory;
         @ISA = qw( TAP::Parser::ResultFactory );
         # force all results to be 'MyResult'
         sub class_for {
           return 'MyResult';
         }
         1;
