Date::Simple::Fmt(3)

okay bestie, welcome to Date::Simple::Fmt(3) — the manual page for a little Date::Simple subclass that lets every object have its own formatting vibe for overloaded stringification. 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Date::Simple::Fmt — a subclass of Date::Simple with per-object-level formatting for overloaded stringification. It's giving “each date gets its own little outfit” energy. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Date::Simple::Fmt;

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This module changes the default stringification behaviour of Date::Simple objects to use the format() method instead. So yeah, stringification said “new format who dis” — no cap. It also changes the behaviour of the constructor. 🫶

The constructor-and-subroutine crew is:

Date::Simple::Fmt->new (FMT, [ARG, ...])
date_fmt (FMT, [ARG, ...])

They follow the same rules as the equivalent method (new) and subroutine (date) in Date::Simple, except the first argument is expected to be the default format for the newly created object. ✨ That's the format used when you're using overloaded stringification or when you don't provide a format argument to the format() method. Periodt. 💅

💀 POD ERRORS 💀

Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explained below — not me making this up, the POD was lowkey fighting for its life: 😭

• Around line 39: '=item' outside of any '=over'
• Around line 48: You forgot a '=back' before a '=head1'
