Hey bestie 💖 you've landed on DateTim...ale::mhn(3) — User Contributed Perl Documentation — and this is part 1 of the mhn locale data showcase. It's giving "every single example is invited to the party," so let's go. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

DateTime::Locale::mhn — locale data examples for the (mhn) locale

That's the name section, and yes, the double space is part of the vibe. Iconic. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

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

Lowkey it's a whole museum of examples, and we're walking through every wing. 🫶

🌸 Date Formats 🌸

Now the actual date formats. Three sample timestamps in each: 2008-02-05T18:30:30, 1995-12-22T09:05:02, and the iconic negative-year one -0010-09-15T04:44:23. 🫶

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

⏰ Time Formats ⏰

Time to clock in, literally. Full and Long both show UTC; Medium and Short don't. That's the whole tea. ☕

🔥 Datetime Formats 🔥

Date plus time combo, the main character energy. Full gets the comma, Long doesn't, Medium drops UTC, Short goes back to the hyphenated date. 💅

🌈 Miscellaneous

Okay these aren't patterns, they're just little locale vibe-checks 👑

Prefers 24 hour time? → Yes ⏰ (no AM/PM nonsense in this house, periodt)
Local first day of the week → 1 (Mon) 📅 (Monday is the main character here, no cap)

✨ Strftime Patterns ✨

These are the classic strftime-style ones, and yes they come with all three sample dates so you can literally see the glow-up 👑

%c (%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y) — the full date and time format, the whole package 🫶

Not me noticing the M sitting in front of the month numbers up there 😭 that's exactly what's written, so that's exactly what you get — copying it verbatim, bestie, no editing, fr fr.
