🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, this is the DateTime::Locale::zu page — Perl user-contributed docs, section 3 — and it's literally the locale data examples for the Zulu (zu) locale. No cap, that's the whole assignment. 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This pod file contains examples of the locale data available for the Zulu locale. That's it — a whole little showcase of the Zulu locale data, and we're going through every crumb together. 🫶

🌸 Miscellaneous 🌸

okay so these are the two little "hey what's your vibe" questions this locale answers for you, already filled in (you don't gotta do anything, it's just telling you):

Prefers 24 hour time? — Yes 🕕 no AM/PM shenanigans here, it's 24-hour o'clock all the way through, iconic behavior fr fr
Local first day of the week — 1 (UMsombuluko) 🗓️ so the week starts on Monday, and it's spelled out in isiZulu, which ate honestly

✨ Strftime Patterns ✨

these are the strftime shortcut patterns this locale ships with, and each one comes with the exact expansion for our three iconic test timestamps so you can see the whole thing in action 🎀 (yes, i'm obsessed with how tidy this is)

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

the full date-and-time combo, the whole meal:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Bil Feb  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Hla Dis 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Mgq Sep 15 04:44:23 -10

💖 `%x` (`%m/%d/%y`) — date format

date only, month first, short year — little cutie:

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, hours minutes seconds, exactly what it says on the tin:

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 🫶

See DateTime::Locale.

literally just go look at DateTime::Locale, that's the whole support section, it's giving "i trust you to find the rest" 😭 go read it bestie

and that's the page!! 🦋 also quick shoutout to the footer that's living down there: this is perl v5.42.0, dated 2024-12-12 — so when you're out here slaying with your isiZulu date formats, that's the version and date you're thanking 💜 periodt, go format some timestamps ✨
