# ABSTRACT: Useful routines

=head1 NAME

DateTime::Format::Builder::Parser::generic - Useful routines

=head1 VERSION

version 0.81

=head1 METHODS

=head2 Useful

=head3 new

Standard constructor. Returns a blessed hash; any arguments are placed
in the hash. This is useful for storing information between methods.

=head3 generic_parser

This is a method provided solely for the benefit of
C<Parser> implementations. It semi-neatly abstracts
a lot of the work involved.

Basically, it takes parameters matching the assorted
callbacks from the parser declarations and makes a coderef
out of it all.

Currently recognized callbacks are:

on_match

=head2 Methods for subclassing

These are methods you should define when writing your own subclass.

B<Note>: these methods do not exist in this class. There is no point
trying to call C<< $self->SUPER::do_match( ... ) >>.

=head3 do_match

C<do_match> is the first phase. Arguments are the date and @args.
C<self>, C<label>, C<args>. Return value must be defined if you match
successfully.

=head3 post_match

C<post_match> is called after the appropriate callback out of
C<on_match>/C<on_fail> is done. It's passed the date, the return
value from C<do_match> and the parsing hash.

Its return value is used as the C<post> argument to the C<postprocess>
callback, and as the second argument to C<make>.

=head3 make

C<make> takes the original input, the return value from C<post_match>
and the parsing hash and should return a C<DateTime> object or
undefined.

=head2 Delegations

For use of C<Parser>, this module also delegates C<valid_params> and
C<params>. This is just convenience to save typing the following:

DateTime::Format::Builder::Parser->valid_params( blah )

Instead we get to type:

$self->valid_params( blah );
    __PACKAGE__->valid_params( blah );

=head1 WRITING A SUBCLASS

Rather than attempt to explain how it all works, I think it's best if
you take a look at F<Regex.pm> and F<Strptime.pm> as examples and
work from there.

=head1 SUPPORT

See L<DateTime::Format::Builder> for details.
