🎀 DateTim...ale::kkj(3)

okay so first thing: yes, the header really does say DateTim...ale::kkj(3), it got truncated mid-name like a text that got cut off at the worst possible moment 😭 the full manual name is DateTime::Locale::kkj and this is the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the world. We're folding it in right here, near the top, exactly where you'd expect 💅

✨ NAME ✨

DateTime::Locale::kkj — Locale data examples for the Kako (kkj) locale 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay bestie, this pod file is literally just a showcase. It contains examples of the locale data available for the Kako locale — like, every day name, month name, and format string, laid out so you can see exactly what you get. No cap, it's a lookbook 📖✨

🗓️ Days

These are the day names, and listen — Wide and Abbreviated are identical here. Iconic, honestly. Narrow is where things get tiny.

🌙 Months

twelve months, six flavors each. The Wide and Abbreviated versions are once again twins — same strings, no drama. The Narrow ones are just numbers 1 through 12, which is lowkey hilarious but also very valid 🍓

✨ Miscellaneous ✨

Bestie, the little detail section. Short but iconic 🫶

Prefers 24 hour time?

Yes

(so yes, main character energy, no AM/PM nonsense around here)

Local first day of the week

1 (lundi)

That's the value, exactly as written — 1, and in parens, lundi. 💜

⏰ Strftime Patterns ⏰

👀 Not me double-checking that double space in wanja 5 — it's in the original, so it stays. Periodt.

🦋 %x (%m/%d/%y) — date format

Just the date, nice and tidy:

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

And here's the clock-only cut:

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