π DateTime::Locale::en_IT(3) π
okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section 3 (that's the 3 in DateTim...e::en_IT(3), and yes the title got truncated with dots in the header, we don't judge, it's giving ctrl-c energy π). Full name of the module: DateTime::Locale::en_IT. Pull up a chair, grab a strawberry drink π, and let's get into it.
β¨ NAME β¨
DateTime::Locale::en_IT β locale data examples for the English Italy (en-IT) locale
That's English and Italy at the same time. She contains multitudes. π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
This pod file is basically a show-and-tell of the locale data you get for the English Italy locale. Like a lookbook, but for dates. No cap, it's just examples all the way down β every single one is here, so let's go section by section, mwah π
