NAME
    DateTime::Format::Builder::Parser::Dispatch - Dispatch parsers by group

VERSION
    version 0.83

SYNOPSIS
        package SampleDispatch;
        use DateTime::Format::Builder (
            parsers => {
                parse_datetime => [
                    {
                        Dispatch => sub {
                            return 'fnerk';
                        }
                    }
                ]
            },
            groups => {
                fnerk => [
                    {
                        regex  => qr/^(\d{4})(\d\d)(\d\d)$/,
                        params => [qw( year month day )],
                    },
                ]
            }
        );

DESCRIPTION
    "Dispatch" adds another parser type to "Builder" permitting dispatch of parsing according to
    group names.

SPECIFICATION
    "Dispatch" has just one key: "Dispatch". The value should be a reference to a subroutine that
    returns one of:

    *   "undef", meaning no groups could be found.

    *   An empty list, meaning no groups could be found.

    *   A single string, meaning: use this group

    *   A list of strings, meaning: use these groups in this order.

    Groups are specified much like the example in the SYNOPSIS. They follow the same format as when
    you specify them for methods.

SIDE EFFECTS
    Your group parser can also be a Dispatch parser. Thus you could potentially end up with an
    infinitely recursive parser.
