Gruntmaster::Daemon::Runner - Modules for running tests

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Gruntmaster::Daemon::Runner::Foo;
  Gruntmaster::Daemon::Runner::Foo::run(5, $meta);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A runner is a module that runs a program on some input data, returning a verdict. Each runner has a subroutine, B<run>(I<$test>, I<$meta>), which runs the program on the given test and returns a verdict.

If the test is successful, the verdict is a string, usually a message (such as C<"Ok">) or a number of points (such as C<"10">). Otherwise, the verdict is an array reference with two elements: an error code (see L<Gruntmaster::Daemon::Constants> for a list) and an error message.

There are three runners in this distribution:

=over

=item L<Gruntmaster::Daemon::Runner::File> - Compare output with static text files

=item L<Gruntmaster::Daemon::Runner::Verifier> - Check the program output with a verifier

=item L<Gruntmaster::Daemon::Runner::Interactive> - Make an interactive verifier talk to the program
