💅 DateTim...:blo_BJ(3) — the Anii Benin (blo-BJ) locale, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk — this is the manual page for DateTime::Locale::blo_BJ, and yes the header is abbreviated because DateTime::Locale::blo_BJ is a whole mouthful, but that's the name, that's the section (3), and this is a User Contributed Perl Documentation situation. it's part of the DateTime::Locale family, and it ships the goods for the Anii Benin locale, aka blo-BJ 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

DateTime::Locale::blo_BJ — locale data examples for the Anii Benin (blo-BJ) locale. that's the whole assignment, no cap 💜

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

this pod file is literally a showcase — it contains examples of the locale data available for the Anii Benin locale. like, everything the locale knows about days, months, quarters, eras, and how it formats dates and times? it's all in here. grab a snack, we're going through it 🍓

🎯 Quarters

four quarters, three widths, two flavours — and yeah the wide format names and the wide stand-alone names are not the same, so pay attention bestie 👀

📅 Date Formats

four widths — Full, Long, Medium, Short — each demoed with the exact same three timestamps so you can compare apples to apples 🍎 those timestamps are 2008-02-05T18:30:30, 1995-12-22T09:05:02, and -0010-09-15T04:44:23. yes, that last one is a negative year. it's built different 💀

🕐 Time Formats

same four widths, same three timestamps. watch how the UTC thing shows up in Full and Long and then dips for Medium and Short — the way that it just leaves 😭
