👑 SUPPORT 👑

See DateTime::Locale. That's the whole support paragraph, she's lowkey efficient 💜

And that's the page, bestie — you made it to the end, so here's the cute sign-off: this absolute gem of a manpage is from perl v5.42.0, dated 2024-12-12, and it's the Swahili locale data in DateTim...ale::sw(3) — go forth and format dates in Swahili, slay ✨🫶🌟
