SYNOPSIS

13         my $locale = DateTime::Locale::FromData->new(%lots_of_data)

DESCRIPTION

16       This class is used to represent locales instantiated from the data in
17       the DateTime::Locale::Data module.
18

METHODS

20       This class provides the following methods:
21
22   $locale->code
23       The complete locale id, something like "en-US".
24
25   $locale->language_code
26       The language portion of the code, like "en".
27
28   $locale->script_code
29       The script portion of the code, like "Hant".
30
31   $locale->territory_code
32       The territory portion of the code, like "US".
33
34   $locale->variant_code
35       The variant portion of the code, like "POSIX".
36
37   $locale->name
38       The locale's complete name, which always includes at least a language
39       component, plus optional territory and variant components. Something
40       like "English United States". The value returned will always be in
41       English.
42
43   $locale->language
44   $locale->script
45   $locale->territory
46   $locale->variant
47       The relevant component from the locale's complete name, like "English"
48       or "United States".
49
50   $locale->native_name
51       The locale's complete name in localized form as a UTF-8 string.
52
53   $locale->native_language
54   $locale->native_script
55   $locale->native_territory
56   $locale->native_variant
57       The relevant component from the locale's complete native name as a
58       UTF-8 string.
59
60   $locale->month_format_wide
61   $locale->month_format_abbreviated
62   $locale->month_format_narrow
63   $locale->month_stand_alone_wide
64   $locale->month_stand_alone_abbreviated
65   $locale->month_stand_alone_narrow
66   $locale->day_format_wide
67   $locale->day_format_abbreviated
68   $locale->day_format_narrow
69   $locale->day_stand_alone_wide
70   $locale->day_stand_alone_abbreviated
71   $locale->day_stand_alone_narrow
72   $locale->quarter_format_wide
73   $locale->quarter_format_abbreviated
74   $locale->quarter_format_narrow
75   $locale->quarter_stand_alone_wide
76   $locale->quarter_stand_alone_abbreviated
77   $locale->quarter_stand_alone_narrow
78   $locale->am_pm_abbreviated
79   $locale->era_wide
80   $locale->era_abbreviated
81   $locale->era_narrow
82       These methods all return an array reference containing the specified
83       data.
84
85       The methods with "format" in the name should return strings that can be
86       used a part of a string, like "the month of July". The stand alone
87       values are for use in things like calendars as opposed to a sentence.
88
89       The narrow forms may not be unique (for example, in the day column
90       heading for a calendar it's okay to have "T" for both Tuesday and
91       Thursday).
92
93       The wide name should always be the full name of thing in question. The
94       narrow name should be just one or two characters.
95
96   $locale->date_format_full
97   $locale->date_format_long
98   $locale->date_format_medium
99   $locale->date_format_short
100   $locale->time_format_full
101   $locale->time_format_long
102   $locale->time_format_medium
103   $locale->time_format_short
104   $locale->datetime_format_full
105   $locale->datetime_format_long
106   $locale->datetime_format_medium
107   $locale->datetime_format_short
108       These methods return strings appropriate for the
109       "DateTime->format_cldr" method.
110
111   $locale->format_for($name)
112       These are accessed by passing a name to "$locale->format_for(...)",
113       where the name is a CLDR-style format specifier.
114
115       The return value is a string suitable for passing to
116       "$dt->format_cldr", so you can do something like this:
117
118         print $dt->format_cldr( $dt->locale->format_for('MMMdd') )
119
120       which for the "en" locale would print out something like "08 Jul".
121
122       Note that the localization may also include additional text specific to
123       the locale. For example, the "MMMMd" format for the "zh" locale
124       includes the Chinese characters for "day" (日) and month (月), so you
125       get something like "8月23日".
126
127   $locale->available_formats
128       This should return a list of all the format names that could be passed
129       to "$locale->format_for".
130
131       See the documentation for individual locales for details and examples
132       of these formats. The format names that are available vary by locale.
133
134   $locale->glibc_datetime_format
135   $locale->glibc_date_format
136   $locale->glibc_date_1_format
137   $locale->glibc_time_format
138   $locale->glibc_time_12_format
139       These methods return strings appropriate for the "DateTime->strftime"
140       method. However, you are strongly encouraged to use the other format
141       methods, which use the CLDR format data. They are primarily included
142       for the benefit for DateTime::Format::Strptime.
143
144   $locale->version
145       The CLDR version from which this locale was generated.
146
147   $locale->prefers_24_hour_time
148       Returns a boolean indicating whether or not the locale prefers 24-hour
149       time.
150
151   $locale->first_day_of_week
152       Returns a number from 1 to 7 indicating the local first day of the
153       week, with Monday being 1 and Sunday being 7.
154
155   $locale->locale_data
156       Returns the original data used to create this locale as a hash. This is
157       here to facilitate creating custom locale that via
158       "DateTime::Locale-"register_data_locale>.
