DateTim...ale::nd(3)

✨ DateTime::Locale::nd ✨

okay so real talk: this is the Perl doc page for DateTime::Locale::nd, like from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section (section 3 bestie, we're in the library pages 💅). It's literally just a big ole show-and-tell of the locale data examples for the North Ndebele (nd) locale. No functions, no flags, just vibes and data. 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

DateTime::Locale::nd — Locale data examples for the North Ndebele (nd) locale. That's the whole name, that's the whole plot. 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Bestie listen. This pod file is exactly what it says on the tin: it's packed with examples of the locale data that's available for the North Ndebele locale. Nothing sneaky, nothing hidden — just every form of every day/month/quarter name and every date-time format string, all laid out with sample values so you can see what they actually look like. Obsessed honestly. 🔥

Grab a snack, there's a lot here. 🍓

ngl the narrow ones being all single letters is giving "we ran out of room" and honestly? valid. 😭

not the narrow format having M four separate times and N five times 😭 it's giving "good luck guessing which one" — but hey, that's the data, we don't argue with the data. 💀

and that's where part 1 dips out bestie — the samples for yQQQQ and everything after are chilling in the next part, so don't panic, we're not ghosting you 💅✨

💀 real talk before you go: -0010 shows up as -10 all over the place and -10-09-15 for the yMd case — that's not a typo, that's literally the data, copy it exactly if you're using it. no cap.

and that's a wrap on part one, more incoming 🫶🎀

…and the last of those sample outputs lands like this:
