=head1 NAME

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

=head1 VERSION

version 0.81

=head1 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 F<quick.t>, the other as F<fall.t>.)

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Quick> adds a parser that allows some shortcuts when
writing fairly standard and mundane calls to other
formatting modules.

=head1 SPECIFICATION

C<Quick> has two keys, one optional.

The C<Quick> keyword should have an argument of either an
object or a class name. If it's a class name then the class
is C<use>d.

The C<method> keyword is optional with a default of
C<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 );

=head1 SUPPORT

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