DateTime::Format::Builder::Parser::Quick(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation	     DateTime::Format::Builder::Parser::Quick(3pm)

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. SUPPORT
Support for this module is provided via the datetime@perl.org email list. See http://lists.perl.org/ for more details. Alternatively, log them via the CPAN RT system via the web or email: http://perl.dellah.org/rt/dtbuilder bug-datetime-format-builder@rt.cpan.org This makes it much easier for me to track things and thus means your problem is less likely to be neglected.
