🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to DateTim...e::de_CH(3) — your very own User Contributed Perl Documentation page ✨ — and it's literally named DateTime::Locale::de_CH.

It's all about Locale data examples for the German Switzerland (de-CH) locale 💅🇨🇭

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This pod file is basically a vibe check for the locale data you get with the German Switzerland locale — it just shows you examples of everything, no cap 📋✨

Every section below is a different little pile of data: days, months, quarters, eras, and then a whole bunch of date/time format examples so you can see exactly how stuff renders. Let's get into it 🫶

👀 notice the little glow-up between the format and stand-alone abbreviated months — the format ones got the trailing . and the stand-alone ones didn't. März and Mai are just out here living their truth with no dot at all. iconic, honestly 🎀

         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 3. Quartal -10

yw-count-one ('Woche' w 'des' 'Jahres' Y)

week number + year, with the literal words baked right in 🗓️

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Woche 6 des Jahres 2008
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Woche 51 des Jahres 1995
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Woche 37 des Jahres -10

yw-count-other ('Woche' w 'des' 'Jahres' Y)

okay so this one is literally the same output as the one above — no cap, look:

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Woche 6 des Jahres 2008
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Woche 51 des Jahres 1995
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Woche 37 des Jahres -10

Both exist as separate entries, both print the identical thing for these dates. We love a consistent queen 💖

Miscellaneous

Two lil facts about this locale, bestie:

Prefers 24 hour time? Yes 🌸 (18:30:30 girlies rise)
Local first day of the week: 1 (Montag) — Monday is the main character here 👑

Strftime Patterns

%c (%a %d %b %Y %T) - date time format

the whole entire timestamp, full send 💫

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Di. 05 Feb. 2008 18:30:30
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Fr. 22 Dez. 1995 09:05:02
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Sa. 15 Sept. -10 04:44:23

%x (%d.%m.%Y) - date format

just the date portion, dotted and padded 🍓

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 05.02.2008
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 22.12.1995
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 15.09.-10

%X (%T) - time format

and just the time, clean and colon-y ✨

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 18:30:30
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 09:05:02
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 04:44:23
