🌸 DateTime::Locale::mww 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for DateTime::Locale::mww — it's the module that holds all the locale data examples for the mww locale, and yes the pod title has a whole empty spot where a language name should be, we love a mysterious icon 💅

💖 NAME 💖

DateTime::Locale::mww — locale data examples for the (mww) locale. (no cap, there's literally a double space in there where the locale's pretty name should live — the data just said "not today" 🫶)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This pod file is basically a show-and-tell 🎀 it's packed with examples of all the locale data available for the locale — every day name, every month name, every quarter, every era, and a whole parade of date/time/datetime formats, each one demonstrated with the same three timestamps so you can see exactly what you'd get. it's giving very thorough. it's giving reference material that ate.

Here's the trio of test stamps you'll see everywhere, so clock them now:

and that's exactly where part 1 dips, bestie — yMd is still waiting on its examples…

Okay, picking up mid-glow-up — the format examples keep rolling like this:

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

yQQQ (y QQQ) — quarter format, short and sweet. Literal outputs, no cap:

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008 Q1
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995 Q4
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10 Q3

yQQQQ (y QQQQ) — the long-form quarter twin, and here it gives the same outputs:

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008 Q1
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995 Q4
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10 Q3

yw-count-other ('week' w 'of' Y) — week-of-year realness:

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = week 6 of 2008
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = week 51 of 1995
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = week 37 of -10

✨ Strftime Patterns ✨

Now the strftime patterns — the classic three, serving exactly these outputs:

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

          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 (%m/%d/%y) — date format:

          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:

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