🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, let me introduce you to DateTime::Locale::vun_TZ — it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your man pages, and it's the locale data file for the Vunjo Tanzania locale (that's vun-TZ for the short version, iykyk). Basically it's the cheat sheet of how dates and times get written out in Vunjo.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This pod file is literally a vibe check on the locale data available for the Vunjo Tanzania locale. Every example below? Straight from the source 💅 no cap.

💀 okay we're literally mid-format list right here — part 2 picks it up from yQQQQ, don't go anywhere bestie 🫶

-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Robo 3 -10

okay and then this next one, no cap, is one of my faves because the pattern is literally a whole sentence:

yw-count-other — pattern 'week' w 'of' Y', aka "which week of the year are we in" energy 💅

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = week 6 of 2008

ngl, week 37 of -10 is sending me 😭 negative years are so main character.

🌸 Miscellaneous 🌸

the lil' vibe-check settings, bestie 🫶

Prefers 24 hour time? → Yes ⏰ (24h girlies stay winning, no AM/PM confusion in this house)
Local first day of the week → 1 (Jumatatuu) 🗓️ — that's the locale's own name for day one, keep it exactly as written iykyk

✨ Strftime Patterns ✨

these are the classic strftime-style shortcut patterns, and honestly they ate 🔥 each one comes with its own description and three sample datetimes so you can see exactly what it spits out. obsessed.

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

-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Jmo Sep 15 04:44:23 -10

(and yes, that double space before the 5 is real — %e is space-padded, don't @ me 🙈)

`%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 🦋

👑 SUPPORT 👑

need more? just go see DateTime::Locale — that's the whole support section, bestie, she's short and sweet 💜

fr fr that's the whole page — every pattern, every sample, every setting, nothing skipped 🫶

and that's a wrap on this one, babe ✨ the source is perl v5.42.0, dated 2024-12-12, and the page footer is the usual DateTim...:vun_TZ(3) tag — iconic, no notes 💅🎀
