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

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);
