DateTim...:mic_CA(3)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

DateTime::Locale::mic_CA β€” bestie, this is the locale data examples pod for the Mi'kmaw Canada (mic-CA) locale. It lives in section 3 of the manual, so like, mic_CA(3), iykyk 🫢


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so this pod file is literally just a showcase β€” it contains examples of the locale data available for the Mi'kmaw Canada locale. That's the whole vibe. No cap, it's a tour of what this locale knows about days, months, quarters, eras, and every format string you could ever want. Let's go πŸ¦‹

🧚 Miscellaneous

Prefers 24 hour time?

Yes

Local first day of the week

7 (Sun)

So yeah β€” 24-hour time? Yes bestie, we're doing that. And the week kicks off on 7 (Sun). Slay 🌸

πŸ’… Strftime Patterns

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

...and that's where this part of the page trails off β€” the strftime pattern list is just getting started, so hold that thought 🫢

…and here's the last little batch, bestie, all three of them using the same three timestamps so you can literally line them up and vibe-check the difference πŸŽ€

the date-and-time one (the big chonky format) β€” same datetimes, expanded out:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Tue M02  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Fri M12 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Sat M09 15 04:44:23 -10

%x is the date-only one, with the format written as %m/%d/%y β€” month, day, two-digit year, slashes doing the separating ✨

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 02/05/08
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 12/22/95
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 09/15/10

lowkey notice how that -0010 year comes out as just 10 β€” that's what's on the page, not me editorialising πŸ™ˆ

%X is the time-only one, written as %H:%M:%S β€” 24-hour clock, minutes, seconds, colons in between ⭐

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

obvs the 18:30:30 and 09:05:02 rows are giving the exact same digits as the input there β€” that's the whole point of %H:%M:%S, she ate πŸ’…


🫢 SUPPORT 🫢

shortest section ever, and honestly? iconic for it. if you want the full rundown, the page just points you at:

See DateTime::Locale.

that's it. that's the support. go read the locale module, bestie, everything you could possibly want about locales lives over there πŸ¦‹


okay that's the whole page, we survived πŸŽ‰ this one's from perl v5.42.0, dated 2024-12-12, and the doc you're reading is DateTim...:mic_CA(3) β€” go forth and format your dates correctly, no cap πŸ‘‘πŸ’–
