💜 NAME

DateTime::Locale::sgs — the locale data examples for the Samogitian (sgs) locale, bestie. Yes, this whole gorgeous pod file is literally just the receipts for that one locale. (Full page name up top: DateTim...ale::sgs(3) — she's long, she got truncated, we still love her. 🌸)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so this pod file is basically a show-and-tell of the locale data you get for the Samogitian locale. It's giving "look at all my little strings" and honestly? Iconic. Below are all the examples, section by section, no skips, no cuts. 🎀

`yMd` (`y-MM-dd`)

…and the next one is giving "just give me the date, nothing else" energy — no cap, it's the short king of date formats:

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

Quarter time!! 🎀 Both the short one and the long one land on the exact same output, which is honestly iconic of them:

       yQQQ (y QQQ)

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008 Q1
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995 Q4
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10 Q3

       yQQQQ (y QQQQ)

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008 Q1
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995 Q4
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10 Q3

And the week-of-the-year one, which literally spells out "week n of Y" like it's writing you a little note 🫶:

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

          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 🌸

Just a couple of little locale facts, bestie — quick vibe check:

Prefers 24 hour time? — Yes
Local first day of the week — 1 (Mon)

So yeah, Monday girlies rise up 💅

⭐ Strftime Patterns ⭐

Okay so these are the big three strftime shortcuts, and ngl they're lowkey the ones you'll actually use in real life. Here's what they expand to 👇

%c (%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y) — date time format. The whole package, date and time, one pattern:

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Tue M02  5 18:30:30 2008
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Fri M12 22 09:05:02 1995

%x (%m/%d/%y) — date format. Yes, it's %m/%d/%y under the hood, iykyk:

          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 clock part, no drama:

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

Need more? See DateTime::Locale. That's the whole support section, she's short and sweet 🍓

And that's the page, bestie!! 🌈 This was pulled from perl v5.42.2, dated 2026-09-15, and the header's out here looking like DateTim...ale::sgs(3) because even manpage titles gotta be mysterious sometimes 💀 Go forth and format your dates, you absolute icon 👑✨
