DateTi...ng::es(3pm)

💃 NAME 💃

DateTime::Format::Flexible::lang::es — the spanish language plugin, bestie 🇪🇸✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so real talk: you should not need to use this module directly. it's giving backstage crew, not main character. 🙈

if you only want to use one language, just specify the lang property when parsing a date. easy peasy.

example:

my $dt = DateTime::Format::Flexible->parse_datetime(
    '29 de febrero de 1996' ,
    lang => ['es']
);
# $dt is now 1996-02-29T00:00:00

note that this is not required — by default ALL languages are scanned when trying to parse a date. all of them. every single one. it's giving overachiever 💅
