Test::Unit::TestLoader - unit testing framework helper class

=head1 SYNOPSIS

This class is not intended to be used directly

This class is used by the framework to load testcase classes into the
runtime environment. It handles testcase class names (that is, classes
inheriting from Test::Unit::TestCase), Test::Harness style test files,
and directory names.
