.PP
Given 'tests' and optional 'rules' as input, returns a new
\&\f(CW\*(C`TAP::Parser::Scheduler\*(C'\fR object. Each member of \f(CW@tests\fR should be either a
a test file name, or a two element arrayref, where the first element is a test
file name, and the second element is a test description. By default, we'll use
the test name as the description.
.PP
The optional \f(CW\*(C`rules\*(C'\fR attribute provides direction on which tests should be run
in parallel and which should be run sequentially. If no rule data structure is
provided, a default data structure is used which makes every test eligible to
be run in parallel:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& { par => \*(Aq**\*(Aq },
.Ve
.PP
The rules data structure is documented more in the next section.
.SS "Rules data structure"
.IX Subsection "Rules data structure"
The "\f(CW\*(C`rules\*(C'\fR\*(L" data structure is the the heart of the scheduler. It allows you
to express simple rules like \*(R"run all tests in sequence\*(L" or \*(R"run all tests in
parallel except these five tests.". However, the rules structure also supports
glob-style pattern matching and recursive definitions, so you can also express
arbitarily complicated patterns.
.PP
The rule must only have one top level key: either 'par' for \*(L"parallel\*(R" or 'seq'
for \*(L"sequence\*(R".
.PP
Values must be either strings with possible glob-style matching, or arrayrefs
of strings or hashrefs which follow this pattern recursively.
.PP
Every element in an arrayref directly below a 'par' key is eligible to be run
in parallel, while vavalues directly below a 'seq' key must be run in sequence.

\fIRules resolution\fR
.IX Subsection "Rules resolution"
.IP "\(bu" 4
By default, all tests are eligible to be run in parallel. Specifying any of your own rules removes this one.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\*(L"First match wins\*(R". The first rule that matches a test will be the one that applies.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Any test which does not match a rule will be run in sequence at the end of the run.
.IP "\(bu" 4
The existence of a rule does not imply selecting a test. You must still specify the tests to run.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Specifying a rule to allow tests to run in parallel does not make the run in parallel. You still need specify the number of parallel \f(CW\*(C`jobs\*(C'\fR in your Harness object.
.PP
\fIGlob-style pattern matching for rules\fR
.IX Subsection "Glob-style pattern matching for rules"
.PP
We implement our own glob-style pattern matching. Here are the patterns it supports:
.PP
.Vb 5
\& ** is any number of characters, including /, within a pathname
\& * is zero or more characters within a filename/directory name
\& ? is exactly one character within a filename/directory name
\& {foo,bar,baz} is any of foo, bar or baz.
\& \e is an escape character

.PP
Return the next available job as TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Job object or
\&\f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR if none are available. Returns a TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Spinner if
the scheduler still has pending jobs but none are available to run right now.
.PP

.IX Subsection "as_string"
.PP
Return a human readable representation of the scheduling tree.
For example:
