DateTime::Format::Builder::Parser::Quick - Use another formatter, simply
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.)
Quick adds a parser that allows some shortcuts when writing fairly standard and mundane calls to other formatting modules.
Quick
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 used.
use
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.
method
parse_datetime
In any case, the resultant code ends up looking like:
my $rv = $Quick->$method( $date );
See the main module's section.
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:

This makes it much easier for me to track things and thus means your problem is less likely to be neglected.
