💅 DateTime::Locale::en_PK(3) — the English Pakistan locale, explained by your fave Unix bestie

okay so real talk — this is from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's the locale data page for en-PK, aka English as she is spoken in Pakistan 🇵🇰. It's basically a giant show-and-tell of every way this locale can spell out a day, a month, a quarter, a date, a time, whatever. No code to run here, it's all examples. Think of it as a mood board for formatting. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

DateTime::Locale::en_PK — locale data examples for the English Pakistan (en-PK) locale. literally what it says on the tin, bestie 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this pod file (perl docs, iykyk) is just packed with examples of the locale data you get for the English Pakistan locale. every category, every width, every style — it's all here so you can see exactly what string DateTime::Locale hands you before you commit to it. obsessed. ✨

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

Strftime Patterns ✨

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

the classic full date-time moment:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Tue Feb  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Fri Dec 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Sat Sept 15 04:44:23 -10

`%x` (`%m/%d/%y`) — date format

date-only, numeric, straight to the point:

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

time-only, clocked and cute:

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