NAME

6       DateTime::Locale::Base - Base class for individual locale objects
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use base 'DateTime::Locale::Base';
10

DEFAULT FORMATS

12       Each locale has a set of four default date and time formats.  They are
13       distinguished by length, and are called "full", "long", "medium", and
14       "short".  Each locale may have a different default length which it uses
15       when its "default_date_format()", "default_time_format()", or
16       "default_datetime_format()" methods are called.
17
18       This can be changed by calling the "set_default_date_format()" or
19       "set_default_time_format()" methods.  These methods accept a string
20       which must be one of "full", "long", "medium", or "short".
21

SUBCLASSING

23       If you are writing a subclass of this class, then you must provide the
24       following methods:
25
26       * month_names
27           Returns an array reference containing the full names of the months,

34       * month_narrows
35           Returns an array reference containing the narrow names of the
36           months, with January as the first month.  Narrow names are the
37           shortest possible names, and need not be unique.
38

65       short_date_format
66           Returns the date format of the appropriate length.
67
68       * long_time_format, full_time_format, medium_time_format,

70           Returns the date format of the appropriate length.
71
72       * date_before_time

75           presentation.
76
77       * date_parts_order
78           This returns a string indicating the order of the parts of a date
79           that is in the form XX/YY/ZZ.  The possible values are "dmy",

81

83           This should return a string which is one of "long", "full",
84           "medium", or "short".  It indicates the default date format length
85           for the locale.
86
87       * _default_time_format_length
88           This should return a string which is one of "long", "full",
