✨ NAME ✨

Okay so the header on this one is literally DateTim...e::en_MW(3) — yes bestie, it got chopped to fit the margin, that's not a typo, that's just man doing its thing 😭 — and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation. The actual thing it documents is DateTime::Locale::en_MW, which is the locale data for the English Malawi (en-MW) locale. Slay. 🇲🇼

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This pod file contains examples of the locale data available for the English Malawi locale. That's it, that's the whole premise — it's a show-and-tell of what en-MW looks like when you actually format stuff with it. No cap, it's just examples, and we're gonna go through every single one 💅

 -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 15/09/-10

🙈 Yes the short form is day/month/year and the year -10 renders as -10 inside the slashes. It's giving chaos but it's correct chaos, periodt.

🫶 Notice how Full and Long are lowkey identical here, and how the zone (UTC) drops off the moment you go Medium or Short. That's the whole flex of this locale, no need to overthink it.

Okay this is the big one, the main character section 💅 Every format name comes with its pattern in parens, and then the three same three timestamps over and over so you can see exactly what each one does. Buckle up bestie, there's like fifty of them and we're doing all of them. No skipping. Not me being thorough. 😌
