okay so bestie, pull up a chair 🎀 this is DateTime::Locale::en_TC(3), straight outta the User Contributed Perl Documentation (section 3, iykyk), and honestly? it's a whole lookbook. it's every single way the English (Turks & Caicos Islands) locale — en-TC — can dress up a date, and we are going to look at all of them. no skimming, no "you get the idea", we're doing this properly 💅

this is part 1 of 2, so hydrate and stay with me 🦋

🌸 NAME

DateTime::Locale::en_TC — Locale data examples for the English Turks & Caicos Islands (en-TC) locale ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION

This pod file contains examples of the locale data available for the English Turks & Caicos Islands locale.

that's the whole thesis fr fr. it's a show-and-tell of what this locale actually spits out — days, months, quarters, eras, and every date/time format string it ships, each one demoed against the exact same three timestamps so you can compare. iconic behaviour honestly 👑

🗓️ Days

the seven main characters themselves, in every level of detail the locale ships. wide, abbreviated, narrow — and each one twice (format AND stand-alone) 🫶

now we're cooking 🍓 same three timestamps, four levels of detail, so you can see exactly how much she's willing to say.

okay this is the motherlode, the full menu, the whole closet 🔥 every named pattern this locale exposes, each one demoed with the same three timestamps. and yes, some of them have -alt-ascii siblings — those are the same pattern but with a plain a instead of the fancy a for the day-period. not me noticing the difference 👀

and that's exactly where part 1 runs out of road — the y values roll straight on into part 2 🫶💖

okay so we're mid-rundown of the date patterns, picking up exactly where we left off 🫶 — every one of these is demoed against the same three reference timestamps (2008-02-05T18:30:30, 1995-12-22T09:05:02, and -0010-09-15T04:44:23), so you can compare the vibes side by side.

bestie look at count-one and count-other — identical output, both listed, and we're keeping both because that's what the page says. no merging allowed ✨

🎀 Miscellaneous

the little extras that kinda define the whole locale's personality:

Prefers 24 hour time? — No
Local first day of the week — 1 (Monday)

🌈 Strftime Patterns

these are the old-school strftime-flavoured ones, same three timestamps, same energy 🔥

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

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

note the double space in Tue Feb 5 — that's %e doing its space-padded thing, it's supposed to be there, do not "tidy" it 🙈

%x (%m/%d/%y) — date format

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

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

💖 SUPPORT

need more? the page points you straight at DateTime::Locale. that's the whole support section. go forth and be locale-literate 🦋

and that's the page, bestie, we ate 🍓 this one's from perl v5.42.0, dated 2024-12-12, and it lives under the extremely abbreviated name DateTim...e::en_TC(3) — yes the truncation is real, yes it's iconic, mwah 💜
