DateTime::Format::Builder creates DateTime parsers. Many string
formats of dates and times are simple and just require a basic
regular expression to extract the relevant information. Builder
provides a simple way to do this without writing reams of structural
code.

Builder provides a number of methods, most of which you'll never
need, or at least rarely need. They're provided more for exposing
of the module's innards to any subclasses, or for when you need to
do something slightly beyond what I expected.
