💅 `DateTime::Locale::en_WS` — the English Samoa locale, explained by your favorite Unix bestie

okay so this is one of those User Contributed Perl Documentation pages (yeah, that's the manual section it lives in), and it's literally just a big flex of all the locale data you get for English Samoa (en-WS). no cap, it's a whole mood board of date strings.

NAME ✨

DateTime::Locale::en_WS — locale data examples for the English Samoa (en-WS) locale

like, that's it, that's the whole name. the module is literally just data 💖

DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie, this pod file contains examples of the locale data available for the English Samoa locale. that's the whole vibe of this page — it's a show-and-tell of every list and every format string, so you can peep exactly what you'd get back. 🎀

ngl the narrow ones are sending me — yes, T appears twice (Tuesday, Thursday) and S twice (Saturday, Sunday). that's not a typo, that's just how narrow rolls. 🙈

ok so the icon behavior here: September abbreviates to Sept — four whole letters, she refused to be Sep — and May stays May in every single form. main character energy, honestly. 👑

notice there's no stand-alone section for eras here — the data straight up doesn't give you one on this page. not me being thorough about what's actually there 💀

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

the way that the short format goes day/month/year and that negative year is just -10 hanging out at the end… unhinged but valid 🫶

the -alt-ascii gworls are giving "same but plain" and honestly that's the whole point of them being listed separately. both versions live here, both get three examples, no favorites 🎀

`y` (`y`)

and that's literally where the page cuts off mid-vibe — the y entry is sitting there with its pattern and no examples yet, like a text left on read 😭

okay bestie, picking up right where we left off — the y pattern’s examples are literally:

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

now the rest of the date formats, and yes every single one is here:

yM (MM/y) — month/year vibes, slay:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 02/2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 12/1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 09/-10

yMEd (E, dd/MM/y) — day name plus full-ish date, iconic:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Tue, 05/02/2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Fri, 22/12/1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Sat, 15/09/-10

yMMM (MMM y) — short month + year, cute:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Feb 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Dec 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Sept -10

yMMMEd (E, d MMM y) — day name, day, short month, year, all that:

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

yMMMM (MMMM y) — full month name + year, main character energy:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = February 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = December 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = September -10

yMMMd (d MMM y) — day, short month, year, no notes:

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

yMd (dd/MM/y) — classic numeric date, periodt:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 05/02/2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 22/12/1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 15/09/-10

1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Q4 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Q3 -10

yQQQQ (QQQQ y) — full quarter + year, highkey fancy:

Strftime Patterns 🦋

%c (%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y) — date time format, the whole 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, short and sweet:

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, clock only:

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