DateTim...ale::suz(3)
okay so bestie, quick note on the header first: the top line literally reads DateTim...ale::suz(3) β yes with the ellipsis, she's mysterious π
β and the manual name on repeat is DateTime::Locale::suz, under User Contributed Perl Documentation. That's the page. It's not a program, it's not got options, it's a showcase: every bit of locale data this (suz) locale hands out, demo'd with the exact same three timestamps so you can compare side by side. Let's go π«Ά
π NAME π
DateTime::Locale::suz β Locale data examples for the (suz) locale
fr the "for the ___ locale" slot is blank in the original and we're keeping it blank, she's keeping us guessing πΈ
π DESCRIPTION π
This pod file contains examples of the locale data available for the locale.
That's literally it. Below is all reference material β no functions, no return values, no gotchas, just "here's what the strings look like." Copy-paste city, no cap β¨
