💖 DateTime::Locale::rof_TZ 💖

okay so bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for DateTime::Locale::rof_TZ and it's genuinely such a fun little corner of Perl. It's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's basically the entire vibe of the Rombo Tanzania (rof-TZ) locale laid out so you can see it with your own eyes. No cap, it's a whole mood. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

DateTime::Locale::rof_TZ — locale data examples for the Rombo Tanzania (rof-TZ) locale. That's it, that's the name, she's simple and she's iconic. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so this pod file is literally just examples. It's a showcase of the locale data available for the Rombo Tanzania locale — days, months, quarters, eras, and a whole parade of date and time formats. Think of it as a lookbook, not a spec. Every example below is real data, so you can see exactly what each pattern spits out. ✨

the way the narrow months are just repeated letters… K four times in a row, then T, S, S, N, T, I, I, I. That's not a typo, that's the actual data, please don't "fix" it. 💀

yMMMd (`y MMM d`)

and that's where this part of the page cuts off bestie — yMMMd is up next with its pattern y MMM d, and there's more coming right after it. 💖

`yMd` (y-MM-dd)

okay so this one is the classic — year, month, day, hyphenated, no notes:

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

`yQQQ` (QQQ y)

quarter name in short form + year. very giving "fiscal report cover page" 💜

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = R1 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = R4 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = R3 -10

`yQQQQ` (QQQQ y)

now the full quarter name, and yes she is wordy and yes she ate:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Robo ya kwanza 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Robo ya kaana 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Robo ya katatu -10

`yw-count-other` ('week' w 'of' Y)

the week-number flex, fr fr. not gonna lie, week 37 of negative ten is a whole mood 😭

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = week 6 of 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = week 51 of 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = week 37 of -10

🫶 Miscellaneous

Prefers 24 hour time? Yes. bestie said military time only, no am/pm chaos, we respect it 👑

Local first day of the week: 1 (Ijumatatu) — that's Monday first, periodt.

🌸 Strftime Patterns

these are your old-school strftime-style shortcuts, and yes they all still slap ✨

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

the whole entire timestamp, the full fit:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Ijn M2  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Iju M12 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Ijm M9 15 04:44:23 -10

👀 yes that's two spaces after M2 in the first line — that's literally what %e does, it's space-padded. do not come for me, it's in the original.

`%x` (`%m/%d/%y`) - date format

just the date, cute and compact:

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

`%X` (`%H:%M:%S`) - time format

just the time, clocked in and iconic:

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