DateTim...e::my_MM(3)

🦋 NAME

okay so bestie, this is DateTime::Locale::my_MM(3) — a User Contributed Perl Documentation page (iykyk, the classic perldoc header vibe) and it's literally all the locale data examples for the Burmese Myanmar (Burma) locale, aka my-MM. So if you ever needed to know what Burmese dates and times look like coming out of Perl's DateTime::Locale, this is the file, periodt. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION

This pod file contains examples of the locale data available for the Burmese Myanmar (Burma) locale. That's it, that's the whole description — it's giving "short and sweet" and honestly? iconic. ✨

Everything below is a live demo of how each format string renders in my-MM, using the exact same three sample datetime values over and over so you can compare side by side. The three little test subjects are:

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

(yes, one of them is negative, the year -10 is out here living its best life 🙈)

...and the format list keeps going, bestie — part 2 has the rest of the skeletons. 🎀

okay so we're still mid pattern-dump and honestly this is the part where the page just goes full spreadsheet on you 💅 but bestie, every single one of these matters, so we're gonna get through it together. Each pattern has the sample values for 2008-02-05T18:30:30, 1995-12-22T09:05:02 and -0010-09-15T04:44:23 — those three dates are like the mannequins this page dresses up over and over 🎀

first up: the entry that got sliced in half by the page break (its name is chillin' in part 1, no stress), and here's how its samples land:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = ညနေ 6:30:30

🌸 Strftime Patterns

the classic <italic>strftime</italic>-style trio — three formats, each with the originals and their localized renderings. no detail skipped, promise 💖

%c (%OC%Oy %b %Od %A %OI:%OM:%OS %p) — date time format

the full date-and-time combo meal 🍔

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = %OC%Oy ဖေ %Od အငဂါ %OI:%OM:%OS ညနေ
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = %OC%Oy ဒီ %Od သောကြာ %OI:%OM:%OS နနက်
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = %OC%Oy စက် %Od စနေ %OI:%OM:%OS နနက်

%x (%OC%Oy %b %Od %A) — date format

date only, time can see itself out 🚪

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = %OC%Oy ဖေ %Od အငဂါ
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = %OC%Oy ဒီ %Od သောကြာ
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = %OC%Oy စက် %Od စနေ

%X (%OI:%OM:%OS %p) — time format

time only, and the day-period is doing the heavy lifting 🕰️

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = %OI:%OM:%OS ညနေ
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = %OI:%OM:%OS နနက်

okay bestie, that's the end of the page 🎉 huge slay for making it all the way through the pattern list with me. this version lives in perl v5.42.0, dated 2024-12-12, and the page goes by DateTim...e::my_MM(3) (yes the name is literally truncated like that on the footer, we love a dramatic ellipsis 🙈). now go format some dates, you're literally so good at this 💅✨
