✨ DateTime::Locale::rif 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to DateTime::Locale::rif(3) — yes it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, section 3, and yes it's exactly as chaotic as that sounds. this is the Locale data examples page for the Riffian (rif) locale, and it is long, so strap in. 🌸

🎀 NAME

DateTime::Locale::rif — Locale data examples for the Riffian (rif) locale.

that's the whole name. short, sweet, iconic. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION

this pod file is literally just the receipts 📜 — it's packed with examples of all the locale data you can get for the Riffian locale. days, months, quarters, eras, formats, the whole little buffet. let's get into it. 🍓

🌈 Days

🌸 Wide (format)

the full-day era. no abbreviations, all main character energy:

Mon
Tue
Wed
Thu
Fri
Sat
Sun

💜 Abbreviated (format)

okay so... they're the same as the wide ones. that's not a typo on my end, that's just the data being its authentic self:

Mon
Tue
Wed
Thu
Fri
Sat
Sun

🦋 Narrow (format)

now we're down to single letters. mysterious. minimal. giving cryptic text from your crush:

M
T
W
T
F
S
S

🎀 Wide (stand-alone)

same seven besties, but now they're standing on their own (not inside a formatted date string):

Mon
Tue
Wed
Thu
Fri
Sat
Sun

✨ Abbreviated (stand-alone)

again — identical to the wide stand-alone ones. consistency is a vibe, honestly:

Mon
Tue
Wed
Thu
Fri
Sat
Sun

💅 Narrow (stand-alone)

the little single letters, standing alone this time:

M
T
W
T
F
S
S

👑 Months

🌸 Wide (format)

okay so the month names here are legit M01 through M12. yes, literally that. and honestly? they ate:

M01
M02
M03
M04
M05
M06
M07
M08
M09
M10
M11
M12

💜 Abbreviated (format)

same twelve, same M01-to-M12 energy. no notes:

M01
M02
M03
M04
M05
M06
M07
M08
M09
M10
M11
M12

🦋 Narrow (format)

and now it's just... numbers. 1 through 12. lowkey unhinged, highkey works:

🎀 Wide (stand-alone)

the M01 girlies, but flying solo this time:

M01
M02
M03
M04
M05
M06
M07
M08
M09
M10
M11
M12

✨ Abbreviated (stand-alone)

yep — M01 through M12, same as above, standing on their own:

M01
M02
M03
M04
M05
M06
M07
M08
M09
M10
M11
M12

💅 Narrow (stand-alone)

1 to 12, no notes, periodt:

⭐ Quarters

🌸 Wide (format)

four quarters, four slays:

Q1
Q2
Q3
Q4

💜 Abbreviated (format)

identical. Q1 to Q4. the data said "if it ain't broke":

Q1
Q2
Q3
Q4

🦋 Narrow (format)

narrow mode strips them down to plain digits:

🎀 Wide (stand-alone)

the wide quarters, alone and thriving:

Q1
Q2
Q3
Q4

✨ Abbreviated (stand-alone)

Q1 to Q4. again. iconic behaviour:

Q1
Q2
Q3
Q4

💅 Narrow (stand-alone)

just 1 2 3 4, standing by themselves:

heads up bestie — the Eras section below only has the three format widths. no stand-alone versions in the original data, so don't come for me, I'm just the messenger 🙈

🌈 Eras

🌸 Wide (format)

BCE
CE

💜 Abbreviated (format)

BCE
CE

🦋 Narrow (format)

BCE
CE

🎀 Date Formats

okay so each one shows three sample datetimes, and then how that format renders them. all three samples, every time. let's go 💖

🌸 Full

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008 M02 5, Tue
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995 M12 22, Fri
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10 M09 15, Sat

💜 Long

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008 M02 5
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995 M12 22
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10 M09 15

🦋 Medium

(runs in looking exactly like Long) no literally, same output. not a typo, it's the data:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008 M02 5
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995 M12 22
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10 M09 15

🎀 Short

now it's giving ISO-8601 realness 🔥:

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

⏰ Time Formats

🌸 Full

-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 04:44:23 UTC

💜 Long

same as Full, UTC and all. yes really:

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

🦋 Medium

the UTC dips out here — just the time, bestie:

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

🎀 Short

hour and minute only. clean. efficient. 🧚

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

🔥 Datetime Formats

🌸 Full

date and time, all the details, zero crumbs:

1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995 M12 22, Fri 09:05:02 UTC
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10 M09 15, Sat 04:44:23 UTC

💜 Long

the weekday name peaced out, everything else stayed:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008 M02 5 18:30:30 UTC
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995 M12 22 09:05:02 UTC
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10 M09 15 04:44:23 UTC

🦋 Medium

and now UTC said bye too:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008 M02 5 18:30:30
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995 M12 22 09:05:02
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10 M09 15 04:44:23

🎀 Short

compact, cute, gets the job done:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008-02-05 18:30
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995-12-22 09:05

🧚 Miscellaneous

💜 Prefers 24 hour time?

Yes. 24-hour girlie confirmed. 🕐

🌸 Local first day of the week

1 (Mon) — the week starts on Monday, no cap.

⭐ Strftime Patterns

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

(the %e is doing that extra-space thing before single-digit days, and yes, those spaces below are load-bearing — don't touch them 😭)

and that's where part 1 wraps up — part 2 is right there waiting for you, keep scrolling bestie 👀💖
