`yMd (y-MM-dd)`

…and we're right back in it 💅 — the last three examples of the pattern above, still doing their little three-timestamp parade:

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

Same three test timestamps for everything below, bestie — 2008-02-05T18:30:30, 1995-12-22T09:05:02 and the icon that is -0010-09-15T04:44:23 (yes the year is literally negative, she's built different 💀). Pattern in, formatted string out, every single time.

`yQQQ` (`y QQQ`)

The short quarter flex — just the year and a Q number, no thoughts, head empty:

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

`yQQQQ` (`y QQQQQ`)

And the long-form quarter, which is where this locale absolutely ate — the quarters get spelled all the way out:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008 Sephatlho sa ntlha sa ngwaga
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995 Sephatlho sa bone
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10 Sephatlho sa boraro

`yw-count-one` (`'beke' w 'ya' Y`)

Week-of-year, singular-count flavour. Note the pattern actually carries the literal word 'beke' and 'ya' around the w and Y 🎀:

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

`yw-count-other` (`'beke' w 'ya' Y`)

Plural-count flavour. Same pattern string, same output here — the two counts just happen to line up in this locale, no cap:

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

✨ Miscellaneous ✨

The little settings that quietly run the whole show 👑

Prefers 24 hour time? — Yes. She's ✨cultured✨, no AM/PM chaos here.
Local first day of the week — 1 (Mosupologo).

🕰️ Strftime Patterns 🕰️

The classic strftime-style shortcuts, but dressed in this locale's outfit 💖

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

The full date-and-time combo:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Labb Tlh  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Labt Sed 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Mat Lwe 15 04:44:23 -10

Ok lowkey look at the first line — there are two spaces between Tlh and 5. That's the %e day-of-month field padding, and it's exactly what the page says, so it stays exactly what this page says 🔍

🦋 `%x` (`%m/%d/%y`) - date format

Date only, short year, slashes slashing:

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

Time only, 24-hour, chef's kiss:

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

💜 SUPPORT 💜

Where do you go when you need more? Literally just:

See DateTime::Locale.

That's the whole support section, bestie. All the deep lore lives over there 🫶

and that's the whole page!! ily, go format some timestamps 💖✨

This beauty is from the perl v5.42.0 toolchain, dated 2024-12-12 (the page footer calls it DateTim...ale::tn(3) — you know her, you love her 🎀).
