💅 DateTime::Locale::fr_CD(3) — the French Congo–Kinshasa locale, bestie edition

okay so real talk: this is the manual page for DateTime::Locale::fr_CD — the locale data examples for the French Congo - Kinshasa (fr-CD) locale. It's a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and it's basically a big ol' show-and-tell of every string this locale hands you. It's giving "look at all my little words" and honestly? iconic. 🎀

Fair warning: this page is a long one, so it comes in 2 parts and this is part 1. More parts follow — do not close the tab. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

DateTime::Locale::fr_CD — Locale data examples for the French Congo - Kinshasa (fr-CD) locale. That's the whole name, that's the whole vibe. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This pod file contains examples of the locale data available for the French Congo - Kinshasa locale. It's literally just… examples. So many examples. Buckle up, we're going through days, months, quarters, eras, and then a truly unhinged number of format codes. No cap. 💀

okay this is the part where the page goes absolutely feral with format codes. every single one gets the same three test timestamps. I'm listing them all, no skipping, because we don't do that here. 💖

The short-and-cute quarter, paired with the year. T1 through T4 are literally serving the whole quarter moment. Iconic, brief, no notes.

The long-form quarter. She's giving full sentences now: 1er trimestre, 4e trimestre, 3e trimestre. Same three timestamps, same energy, way more words. Periodt 💖

 -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = semaine 37 de -10

Week-number-with-year, and this is the count-one flavour of it.

yw-count-other ('semaine' w 'de' Y) 👑

  2008-02-05T18:30:30 = semaine 6 de 2008
  1995-12-22T09:05:02 = semaine 51 de 1995
 -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = semaine 37 de -10

And here's the count-other flavour. Yes, the outputs are literally identical to count-one — that's not a typo, that's just what the data says. Both of them ate, and both look exactly the same. 💀

Miscellaneous 🎀

Two quick facts, no commentary needed:

  • Prefers 24 hour time? Yes 🔥
  • Local first day of the week — 1 (lundi)

So the week starts on a Monday around here. Respect the lundi supremacy honestly.

Strftime Patterns ⭐

Okay so these are the classic strftime conversions, and every one of them gets the same three timestamps so you can see the glow-up side by side. Obsessed.

Note that double space before the 5 — that's %e, which pads the day with a space, not a zero. It's not a glitch, it's a feature. 🙈

%x (%m/%d/%y) — date format 🍓

  2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 02/05/08
  1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 12/22/95

Month first, then day, then two-digit year. Yes, this one is the %m/%d/%y pattern, so don't come for me about day/month ordering — I'm just reading the page. 💅

%X (%H:%M:%S) — time format 💜

  2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 18:30:30
  1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 09:05:02

Time only, 24-hour, colon-separated, immaculate. Zero notes. 👑

SUPPORT 🫶

The whole support section is one beautiful line, and honestly same:

See DateTime::Locale.

That's it. That's the support. Go look at DateTime::Locale, bestie — it's the main character here.

Okay that's the whole page, you made it to the end and I'm so proud of you 😭🎀 This was DateTim...e::fr_CD(3) from perl v5.42.0, dated 2024-12-12 — say it with me, slay 💖✨ bye bestie, go format some dates 🌈🌟
