…and the last pattern block from part one closes out like this — no crumbs left behind:

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

Okay so now the quarter-name patterns, and honestly they're giving main-character energy 🌟:

yQQQ (QQQ y)

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

yQQQQ (QQQQ y)

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Rubaca 1aad 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Rubaca 4aad 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Rubaca 3aad -10

See how the long form QQQQ eats and leaves no crumbs while QQQ is the lil shortie? Both of them, same three dates, same vibe check, and yeah that third one really is a negative year — she's built different 😭

Next up, week-of-year counts, because the locale wants the word for "week" spelled out, bestie:

yw-count-one ('toddobaadka' w 'ee' Y)

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

yw-count-other ('toddobaadka' w 'ee' Y)

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

count-one and count-other, both iconic, both literally identical output here — and yes, if you clocked that the count-one and count-other results match exactly, you clocked right, the data says what it says and we are not the ones who decide that 💅

🦋 Miscellaneous 🦋

Two tiny lil questions get answered here, and the answers are the whole tea:

Prefers 24 hour time? — No
Local first day of the week — 1 (Isniin)

Soooo 12-hour girlie, week starts on Isniin, noted, screenshotted, saved to favourites 🎀

✨ Strftime Patterns ✨

Now the strftime section, aka the part you actually came for — the three big-name patterns and exactly what they spit out for our three test dates. Each header shows the pattern name and, in parentheses, the expansion it's equivalent to. Obsessed.

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

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Tldo Feb  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Jmc Dis 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Sbti Seb 15 04:44:23 -10

Note the double space before the 5 in that first line — that's %e doing its space-padded thing, and yes you must preserve it character for character, no "cleaning it up", I'm watching 👀

%x (%m/%d/%y) — date format

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

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

Slay. Three patterns, three dates, zero surprises, every value copied exactly, periodt 💖

🌈 SUPPORT 🌈

See DateTime::Locale.

That's it, that's the whole support section — short and sweet, like she knows her worth 🫶 Go read the parent module if you want the full lore, iykyk.

Babe, before you go: the locale data lives here, but the machinery lives in DateTime::Locale. Don't go knocking on the wrong door okay 🙈

And that's a wrap on this page, bestie! Generated from perl v5.42.0, dated 2024-12-12 — so if you're reading this way in the future, hi, you're valid, but maybe check for a newer version first ⭐ Go forth, format your dates in Somali, and remember: the way that %c ate that double space? iconic. 🎀💜
