DateTim...e::de_BE(3)
π NAME π
okay so this is DateTime::Locale::de_BE(3) β like, the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for it β and it's Locale data examples for the German Belgium (de-BE) locale. that's the whole vibe. it's a data dump, not a program, so no cap there's nothing to run, it's just the receipts for how de-BE formats stuff π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
so basically, this pod file contains examples of the locale data available for the German Belgium locale. that's it. that's the description. every section below is just showing you the actual strings this locale spits out for days, months, quarters, eras, and every date/time/datetime format it knows π
read it like a lookbook. the labels are the format names, the values are what you'd literally get. slay.
π¦ Days
okay so days of the week, but in six different flavours depending on whether you're formatting a real date (that's the "format" ones) or just writing the day name on its own like a little standalone label (that's the "stand-alone" ones). and yes, the abbreviated ones differ by a single period. the drama. the detail. π

okay so here's where it gets fun β each block takes three sample timestamps and shows you exactly what the date looks like at each width. the timestamps are identical every time so you can compare. the third one is -0010-09-15T04:44:23, which is a negative year, and yes it renders as -10. she's built different π
