=head1 NAME

Text::RecordParser::Tab - read tab-delimited files

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Text::RecordParser::Tab;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is a shortcut for getting a tab-delimited parser.

=head2 new

Call "new" as normal but without worrying about "field_separator" or "fs."

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",
  );
