🌸 DateTime::Locale::kde(3) 🌸

okay so first things first bestie — this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual (that's the manual name, don't @ me), and it is literally just a giant, unhinged, beautiful data dump for the Makonde locale <pink>kde</pink>. no code to run, no flags to pass, just vibes and example strings. she's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment. 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

DateTime::Locale::kde - Locale data examples for the Makonde (kde) locale

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

straight from the source, no cap: this pod file is literally a showcase — it contains examples of the locale data available for the Makonde locale. that's it. that's the whole job. every single string kde can spit out, laid out for you so you never have to guess what a formatted date looks like in Makonde. bestie behaviour, honestly. 🫶

so like, for every category below you're getting the format flavour and the stand-alone flavour, and each one comes in wide, abbreviated and narrow widths. three widths, two flavours, one very thorough locale. let's go. 👑

not me noticing the list rolls 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 👀 the week does a little wrap-around moment and honestly? main character energy. and yeah — wide format and wide stand-alone are the same strings, abbrev matches abbrev, narrow matches narrow. no drama, no plot twist. 💀

bestie look at those long ones — Mwedi wa Nnyano na Nnyano na M is a whole sentence and i respect it 😭 also yes, the narrow list has duplicate letters (J, M, A twice) and that's just how it is, don't come for me, that's verbatim what the data says. 🙈

⚠️ yes the third line has a negative year — -0010 in, -10 out. that's not a typo, that's a real example and you should not "fix" it. ngl it's kind of iconic. 😤

🫶 and that's exactly where part 1 runs out of page — yMMMEd (E, MMM d, y) is the last thing printed here, and there's more coming in part 2, so don't go anywhere bestie 💜

...and the tail end of that last pattern's examples looks like this:

Then we get into the named formats, bestie, and there are a lot of them. Buckle up 💅

yMMMM — which renders as MMMM y:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Mwedi wa Pili 2008

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

yQQQ — renders as QQQ y (quarter vibes ✨):

1995-12-22T09:05:02 = L4 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = L3 -10

yQQQQ — renders as QQQQ y, the long-form quarter:

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

yw-count-other — renders as 'week' w 'of' Y, and lowkey this one's my fave because it literally spells the word week at you:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = week 6 of 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = week 51 of 1995

⏰ Strftime Patterns ⏰

Okay so these are the classic strftime-style patterns, and ngl they're the ones your grandma's date command speaks. Three of them, all iconic:

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

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Ll4 Feb  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Ll7 Des 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Ll1 Sep 15 04:44:23 -10

%x (%m/%d/%y) — the 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) — the 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

And that's the whole page, fr fr. This masterpiece was served up by perl v5.42.0, dated 2024-12-12, and it's the DateTim...ale::kde(3) page — yes the name is literally truncated with ellipsis in the footer, and honestly? Main character energy. Go format some Makonde dates, you got this 👑✨🦋
