DateTim...e::fr_CM(3)

💅 NAME ✨

DateTime::Locale::fr_CM — it's the locale data examples for the French Cameroon (fr-CM) locale, bestie. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

(Also hi, this is DateTim...e::fr_CM(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section — the name got squished by the terminal but she's fine, she's iconic.)


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so this pod file is literally just examples of the locale data you get for the French Cameroon locale. No cap — it's a showcase, a little fashion show of French Cameroonian date formatting. Let's get into it. 🦋

Lowkey obsessed with the two Ms and two Js in narrow — that's not a typo, that's just mardi/mercredi and jeudi/juillet energy. It's giving chaos but it's correct chaos. 💀

Not mars, mai, and juin being the only abbreviated months that didn't need abbreviating. They said "we're perfect, we're staying." Main character energy, honestly. 👑

Bestie notice how eras only have the three format versions — no stand-alone eras here. That's not me skipping, that's just the tea. 🍓

yQQQ (QQQ y)

…and that's where part 1 runs out, bestie — yQQQ is up next with her examples in part 2. Don't go anywhere. 💖

…and here's the tail end of that example block from before, finishing it off so nothing gets left on read 💅

Quarter + year moment ✨ it literally spells out the trimester and honestly? iconic.

yw-count-one ('semaine' w 'de' Y)

Week number stitched together with the year, singular-flavoured 🎀 note the literal 'semaine', 'de' and Y bits — that's the pattern, bestie, don't touch it.

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = semaine 6 de 2008

yw-count-other ('semaine' w 'de' Y)

Same pattern, "other" count variant — and yes, the output is literally identical to the one above, no cap, I checked three times 😭

🌸 Miscellaneous

The little vibe-check facts about this locale:

  • Prefers 24 hour time? Yes — 24h girlies stay winning 🕕
  • Local first day of the week: 1 (lundi) — Monday is the main character, as she should be 👑

⭐ Strftime Patterns

The classic strftime-style patterns, with the pattern and what it expands to sitting right there in the heading. Obsessed with the transparency, honestly 🫶

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

And that's the whole page, bestie — nothing skipped, nothing summarised, every T1/T4/T3 and every semaine accounted for 🌈 This cut came from perl v5.42.0, dated 2024-12-12, and its footer line reads DateTim...e::fr_CM(3) — go forth and localise, you ate that 💅🎀
