DateTim...ale::qu(3)

💅 NAME 💅

Okay bestie, so this is DateTime::Locale::qu, section 3 of the manual (the header reads DateTim...ale::qu(3) because terminals like to truncate, and it's filed under User Contributed Perl Documentation). 🫶

TL;DR: it's the locale data examples for the Quechua (qu) locale. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This pod file is literally just a pile of examples showing what locale data is available for the Quechua locale. No cap — it's a show-and-tell of every date/time string the qu locale can spit out. 💖

🧚 yw-count-other (w 'semana' Y 'watapa') 🧚

this one's the week-of-year counter, and it's lowkey the cutest pattern on the whole page because it literally spells it out with words instead of numbers. semana = week, watapa = year, no cap 🌸

🎀 Miscellaneous 🎀

the little odds and ends that didn't fit anywhere else, aka the vibe check corner:

• Prefers 24 hour time? — No. she said "12-hour girlie forever", morning/evening girlies rise 🫶
• Local first day of the week — 1 (Lunes). Monday is the main character here, as she should be 👑

✨ Strftime Patterns ✨

the strftime-flavoured shortcuts, i.e. the pre-bundled combo patterns so you don't have to stitch %a %b %e together yourself like some kind of peasant 🎀

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

the whole shebang in one go, date and time, and it's giving "just tell me everything":

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Mar Feb  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Vie Dic 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Sab Set 15 04:44:23 -10

note the double space before 5 in the first line — that's %e, it pads with a space, it's not a typo, don't come for me 🙈

%x (%m/%d/%y) — date format

just the date, month first, %y two-digit year and all:

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

and yeah, that last one is 09/15/10 for the year -0010 — two-digit years are chaotic like that, it is what it is 💀

%X (%H:%M:%S) — time format

just the clock, 24-hour, very demure, very mindful:

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