💖 DateTime::Locale::lg(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the DateTime::Locale::lg glow-up ✨ this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation and it's basically a whole photo album of locale data — every example value your girl could ever need, no cap. Date, time, month names, day names, quarters, eras, the whole aesthetic. Let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

DateTime::Locale::lg — locale data examples for the Ganda (lg) locale. That's it, that's the name, and yes the manpage header totally calls it DateTime::Locale::lg(3) too 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This pod file contains examples of the locale data available for the Ganda locale.

That's the official tea ☕ and everything below is the receipts: every format, every pattern, every sample timestamp, laid out so you can see exactly what the Ganda locale does. Obsessed, honestly 💜

🎀 Miscellaneous 🎀

Two lil quick facts about this locale, and yes they're both main characters:

  • Prefers 24 hour time? Yes 💅 no confusing am/pm nonsense here, we're clocking it straight.
  • Local first day of the week 1 (Balaza) — bestie starts the week on 1, and 1 is Balaza 🗓️✨

🌸 Strftime Patterns 🌸

okay this is the part where the locale gets to flex its built-in date formats 🫶 these are the classic strftime shortcuts, already pre-styled for you:

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

the full date-and-time combo meal 🍓:

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Lw2 Feb  5 18:30:30 2008
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Lw5 Des 22 09:05:02 1995
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Lw6 Seb 15 04:44:23 -10

(notice Feb is Feb but December is Des and September is Seb — iconic, no notes 😌)

🎀 %x (%m/%d/%y) — date format

just the date, cute and short, month first:

          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

just the time, 24 hour, zero drama:

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 18:30:30
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 09:05:02
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 04:44:23
lowkey notice how -0010-09-15T04:44:23 keeps printing as 09/15/10 and -10 at the end of the %c line 😭 that's just how the year renders here, bestie, don't @ me.
