🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to DateTime::Locale::bss_CM(3) 💅 — straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, no cap. This is the locale data module for the Akoose Cameroon locale, aka bss-CM, and this page is literally just the receipts: every day name, month name, quarter, era, format pattern and sample output the module ships with. Obsessed. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This pod file contains examples of the locale data available for the Akoose Cameroon locale. That's it, that's the whole vibe — it's a big ol' show-and-tell of what the data looks like. ✨

🌈 Days

Six whole flavours of day names, because apparently one was not enough. 😌

🌸 Months

Same energy, but for months. And yes, the wide and abbreviated ones are literally M01 through M12 — iconic placeholder behaviour, we love a data dump. 🫶

🍓 Date Formats

Four lengths, three sample timestamps each, all shown as input = output. Copy that energy forever. 💖

Note the third sample starts with a negative year — -0010-09-15T04:44:23 — and yes it stays negative in the output, literally just -10. 😭

⭐ Strftime Patterns

Once more, with strftime energy — the classic pattern and what it's for. 💫

%c (%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y) - date time format

`%x` (`%m/%d/%y`) — date format ✨

okay so %x is the "just gimme the date, short and sweet" one — it literally maps to %m/%d/%y 💅

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 02/05/08
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 12/22/95
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 09/15/10

`%X` (`%H:%M:%S`) — time format 🕰️

and %X is the time twin, mapping straight to %H:%M:%S — no notes, it just ate 🎀
