Adding a new protocol handler

I am now looking at adding a protocol handler for one of my plugins - so
that I can have something like
radiogroup://station%20name
to play one

I have been reading
https://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Design_of_new-streaming#Protocol_Handlers
and looked at some code in other plugins.

I can see that I need to call
Slim::Player::ProtocolHandlers->registerHandler with the protocol name
(radiogroup in this fake example) and the Perl package name as
parameters.

Some have done this by having a file
ProtocolHandler.pm and then having something like this in the code of
that module
Slim::Player::ProtocolHandlers->registerHandler('radiogroup',
__PACKAGE__);

I am trying something similar but not seeing my code get called.

So ... does LMS automatically look for
ProtocolHandler.pm
to load in on plugin startup or is there something else that I have to
do to get my ProtocolHandler.pm to be invoked?
