Date::Language(3)

🌸 Date::Language 💅

okay bestie, so this is Date::Language, a Perl module — and honestly it's giving very much "multilingual queen" energy. No cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Like, here's the whole vibe in four lines, copy it exactly okay:

use Date::Language;

my $lang = Date::Language->new('German');
$lang->time2str("%a %b %e %T %Y\n", time);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does Date::Language actually do? It hands you objects that parse and format dates for specific languages — like, each language gets its own little main character object and it just knows how to talk about time in that language. That's the whole thing, and she ate. 🔥

The available languages are, and yes I'm listing every single one because we don't skip:

• Afar
• Amharic
• Austrian
• Brazilian
• Chinese
• Chinese_GB
• Czech
• Danish
• Dutch
• English
• Finnish
• Occitan
• French
• Gedeo
• German
• Greek
• Hungarian
• Icelandic
• Italian
• Norwegian
• Oromo
• Romanian
• Russian
• Russian_cp1251
• Russian_koi8r
• Sidama
• Somali
• Spanish
• Swedish
• Tigrinya
• TigrinyaEritrean
• TigrinyaEthiopian
• Turkish
• Bulgarian

thirty-four languages, periodt 🌈

🎀 METHODS 🎀

ngl the methods section is literally just a bunch of "go read the other doc" links and honestly? iconic minimalism. 💅 Every one of these points you somewhere else, so keep that in mind:

• time2str — see "time2str" in Date::Format
• strftime — see "strftime" in Date::Format
• ctime — see "ctime" in Date::Format
• asctime — see "asctime" in Date::Format
• str2time — see "str2time" in Date::Parse
• strptime — see "strptime" in Date::Parse

lowkey the whole METHODS section is a "go ask my friend" moment and I respect it 🫶 — if you want the actual details, those other pages are where the lore lives.

okay that's the whole page, bestie — mwah 💖 this was perl v5.42.0, dated 2020-05-20, and it's the Date::Language(3) page, so go forth and format dates in thirty-four languages like the multilingual icon you are 🧚‍♀️⭐
