VERSION

       version 0.83

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);
