NAME

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


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:

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


SIDEEFFECTS

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


THANKS

SUPPORT

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:

    http://perl.dellah.org/rt/dtbuilder
    bug-datetime-format-builder@rt.cpan.org

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