DateTime::Format::Builder::Parser::Quick: Use another formatter, simply

VERSION

version 0.81

SYNOPSIS

    use DateTime::Format::Builder (
    parsers => { parse_datetime => [
        { Quick => 'DateTime::Format::HTTP' },
        { Quick => 'DateTime::Format::Mail' },
        { Quick => 'DateTime::Format::IBeat' },
    ]});

is the same as:

use DateTime::Format::HTTP; use DateTime::Format::Mail; use DateTime::Format::IBeat;

use DateTime::Format::Builder ( parsers => { parse_datetime => [ sub { eval { DateTime::Format::HTTP->parse_datetime( $_[1] ) } }, sub { eval { DateTime::Format::Mail->parse_datetime( $_[1] ) } }, sub { eval { DateTime::Format::IBeat->parse_datetime( $_[1] ) } }, ]});

(These two pieces of code can both be found in the test suite; one as quick.t, the other as fall.t.)

DESCRIPTION

\*(C`Quick\*(C' adds a parser that allows some shortcuts when writing fairly standard and mundane calls to other formatting modules.

SPECIFICATION

\*(C`Quick\*(C' has two keys, one optional.

The \*(C`Quick\*(C' keyword should have an argument of either an object or a class name. If it's a class name then the class is \*(C`use\*(C'd.

The \*(C`method\*(C' keyword is optional with a default of \*(C`parse_datetime\*(C'. It's either name of the method to invoke on the object, or a reference to a piece of code.

In any case, the resultant code ends up looking like:

my $rv = $Quick->$method( $date );

SUPPORT

See DateTime::Format::Builder for details.
