DateTim...ale::or(3)

🦋 NAME 🦋

okay so the manpage header up at the top says DateTim...ale::or(3) and it's tagged User Contributed Perl Documentation — and honestly that's the whole vibe. This is DateTime::Locale::or: locale data examples for the Odia (or) locale. 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This pod file is literally a show-and-tell of every piece of locale data you get for the Odia locale. No actual code, just the receipts — day names, month names, quarter names, eras, plus a whole bunch of pre-baked date/time/datetime format examples so you can see exactly what each pattern spits out. It's giving "reference doc but make it a lookbook" ✨

Keep reading, bestie, it's so much data and I'm obsessed. 💅

🧚 Quarters

four quarters, and they did not come to play.

🎀 Wide (format)

1ମ ତରୟମାସ
2ୟ ତରୟମାସ
3ୟ ତରୟମାସ
4ରଥ ତରୟମାସ

✨ Abbreviated (format)

Q1
Q2
3ୟ ତରୟମାସ
4ରଥ ତରୟମାସ

not me spotting that Q1 and Q2 are just vibing in Latin while 3ୟ ତରୟମାସ and 4ରଥ ତରୟମାସ went full Odia 💀 the inconsistency is lowkey the moment.

okay so the stand-alone abbreviated version got its act together — all four are Q-style here. character development 🫶

👑 Eras

just two eras, but they understood the assignment.

🎀 Wide (format)

heads up: eras only ship in these three flavors — no stand-alone versions here, so don't go looking for them 🙈

📅 Date Formats

alright bestie, from here on out it's all examples. every single one is rendered against the same three timestamps, so you can compare across formats:

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

🌸 Full

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = ମଙଗଳବାର, ଫେବଆରୀ 5, 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = ଶକରବାର, ଡସେମବର 22, 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = ଶନବାର, ସେପଟେମବର 15, -10

💜 Long

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = ଫେବଆରୀ 5, 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = ଡସେମବର 22, 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = ସେପଟେମବର 15, -10

🦋 Medium

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = ଫେବଆରୀ 5, 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = ଡସେମବର 22, 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = ସେପଟେମବର 15, -10

Long and Medium are giving the exact same output here. not a glitch, that's just what the data says 💅

🎀 Short

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2/5/08
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 12/22/95
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 9/15/-10

😭 9/15/-10 is sending me but that's genuinely the negative year, don't @ me.

⏰ Time Formats

same three timestamps, now with the time-of-day glow-up.

🌸 Full

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 6:30:30 PM UTC
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 9:05:02 AM UTC
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 4:44:23 AM UTC

🦋 Medium

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 6:30:30 PM
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 9:05:02 AM
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 4:44:23 AM

🎀 Short

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 6:30 PM
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 9:05 AM
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 4:44 AM

spot the difference: Full and Long keep the UTC at the end, Medium and Short drop it. that's the whole distinction and honestly? subtle but slay ✨
