For a corresponding deflator, see HTML::FormFu::Deflator::Strftime.

parser
Arguments: \%args Required. Define the expected input string, so DateTime::Format::Builder knows how to inflate it into a DateTime object. Accepts arguments to be passed to "parser" in DateTime::Format::Builder.

strptime
Arguments: \%args Arguments: $string Optional. Define the format that should be used if the DateTime object is stringified.

time_zone
Arguments: $string Optional. You can pass along a time_zone in which the DateTime will be created. This is useful if the string to parse does not contain time zone information and you want the DateTime to be in a specific zone instead of the floating one (which is likely). Accepts a hashref of arguments to be passed to "new" in DateTime::Format::Strptime. Alternatively, accepts a single string argument, suitable for passing to "DateTime::Format::Strptime->new( pattern => $string )".
