NAME

Tanker::Plugin - a base class for all Tanker plugins

SYNOPSIS

Top

use Tanker::Plugin;

my $plugin = new Tanker::Plugin ($pipeline);

$plugin->handle($request);

this class isn't designed to be used directly but subclassed and the handle method overridden

DESCRIPTION

Top

If a plugin is placed in a Tanker pipeline then (almost) every request that comes down the pipeline will be passed to it via the handle method.

It's then free to munge it as it wants.
