💅 DateTime::Locale::mer

Ok bestie, so this is the manual page for DateTime::Locale::mer — it's the Locale data examples for the Meru (mer) locale. That's the name, that's the whole vibe. It's giving "reference sheet for the Meru locale in the DateTime::Locale world" and honestly? Iconic. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION

So this pod file is literally just a showcase — it contains examples of the locale data available for the Meru locale. Like a little museum of Meru month names and time formats. No cap. 🎀

🌸 Miscellaneous 🌸

okay so a couple of quick locale facts that are lowkey important:

  • Prefers 24 hour time? Yes — she said yes to 24-hour time, iconic.
  • Local first day of the week 1 (Muramuko) — the locale literally says 1 (Muramuko), and that's the whole tea.

✨ Strftime Patterns ✨

these strftime patterns are highkey the main characters of date formatting. every example is exact, so don't tweak a single character:

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

the full date-time combo, slay:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = WAI FEB  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = WTN DEC 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = JUM SPT 15 04:44:23 -10

%x (%m/%d/%y) — date format

date-only bestie:

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
