=head1 NAME

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

=head1 VERSION

version 0.82

=head1 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 )],
		},
	    ]
	}
    );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Dispatch> adds another parser type to C<Builder> permitting
dispatch of parsing according to group names.

=head1 SPECIFICATION

C<Dispatch> has just one key: C<Dispatch>. The value should be a
reference to a subroutine that returns one of:

=over 4

=item *

C<undef>, meaning no groups could be found.

=item *

An empty list, meaning no groups could be found.

=item *

A single string, meaning: use this group

=item *

A list of strings, meaning: use these groups in this order.

=back

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

=head1 SIDE EFFECTS

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