NAME

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

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

       "Quick" adds a parser that allows some shortcuts when writing fairly standard and mundane calls to other formatting modules.

SPECIFICATION

       "Quick" has two keys, one optional.

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

       The "method" keyword is optional with a default of "parse_datetime". 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 );

THANKS

       See the main module's section.
