💖 NAME 💖

DateTime::Locale::fr_MF — ok so this is the whole vibe of the locale data examples for the French St. Martin (fr-MF) locale 🎀

(and yeah, the manual page itself is DateTim...e::fr_MF(3), straight out of User Contributed Perl Documentation — iykyk ✨)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This pod file contains examples of the locale data available for the French St. Martin locale, bestie 💅 Like, all of it — the days, the months, the quarters, the eras, every date/time/datetime format, and the full menu of available formats with three sample timestamps each so you can literally see the output. No cap, it's giving reference sheet energy and I'm obsessed 🫶

The three sample timestamps used everywhere are:

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

Keep those in your head, they show up everywhere below 👑

…and this is exactly where part 1 of the page stops, bestie 🫶 keep reading, there's more 💖

...and the last one from that stretch finishes up like this — same three dates, three very different vibes:

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

yQQQ (QQQ y) — quarter, but make it abbreviations. Short little "T1" energy, then the year.

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = T1 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = T4 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = T3 -10

yQQQQ (QQQQ y) — the full-word era of quarters. "1er trimestre", "4e trimestre", "3e trimestre" — she's spelling it all out, no shortcuts, periodt.

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 1er trimestre 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 4e trimestre 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 3e trimestre -10

yw-count-one ('semaine' w 'de' Y) — week number with the literal words baked in. Singular-ish grammar case, and the output is literally identical to the other one (iykyk, the grammar case differs, not the text).

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

yw-count-other ('semaine' w 'de' Y) — the "other" grammar case, same words, same numbers. Yes bestie, they really do produce the exact same string here. That's not a typo, that's just how it be 💅

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

🌸 Miscellaneous 🌸

Little grab-bag of locale settings, and honestly they're giving main character energy:

Prefers 24 hour time? Yes. No AM/PM chaos here, we're doing 18:30:30 and we're doing it unbothered 🕕
Local first day of the week — 1 (lundi). The week starts on Monday, as it should, no notes 🙌

✨ Strftime Patterns ✨

Okay this is the part where the classic strftime codes get their French glow-up. The pattern is written out in parentheses after each code, so you know exactly what's being assembled 👑

%c (%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y) — date time format. The full package deal: day name, month name, day, clock, year.

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = mar. févr.  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = ven. déc. 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = sam. sept. 15 04:44:23 -10

Not me noticing the double space in févr. 5 — that's %e, it space-pads the day number. Keep it exactly, don't "tidy" it 🙈

%x (%m/%d/%y) — date format. Note the pattern literally says month/day/year even though the locale is French; the outputs below are the receipts, so copy them, don't reinvent them 🎀

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. 24-hour clock, seconds included, zero drama, zero AM/PM 🦋

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