NAME
DateTime::Locale::FromData - Class for locale objects instantiated from
pre-defined data
VERSION
version 1.37
SYNOPSIS
my $locale = DateTime::Locale::FromData->new(%lots_of_data)
DESCRIPTION
This class is used to represent locales instantiated from the data in
the DateTime::Locale::Data module.
METHODS
This class provides the following methods:
$locale->code
The complete locale id, something like "en-US".
$locale->language_code
The language portion of the code, like "en".
$locale->script_code
The script portion of the code, like "Hant".
$locale->territory_code
The territory portion of the code, like "US".
$locale->variant_code
The variant portion of the code, like "POSIX".
$locale->name
The locale's complete name, which always includes at least a language
component, plus optional territory and variant components. Something
like "English United States". The value returned will always be in
English.
$locale->language
$locale->script
$locale->territory
$locale->variant
The relevant component from the locale's complete name, like "English"
or "United States".
$locale->native_name
The locale's complete name in localized form as a UTF-8 string.
$locale->native_language
$locale->native_script
$locale->native_territory
$locale->native_variant
The relevant component from the locale's complete native name as a
UTF-8 string.
$locale->month_format_wide
$locale->month_format_abbreviated
$locale->month_format_narrow
$locale->month_stand_alone_wide
$locale->month_stand_alone_abbreviated
$locale->month_stand_alone_narrow
$locale->day_format_wide
$locale->day_format_abbreviated
$locale->day_format_narrow
$locale->day_stand_alone_wide
$locale->day_stand_alone_abbreviated
$locale->day_stand_alone_narrow
$locale->quarter_format_wide
$locale->quarter_format_abbreviated
$locale->quarter_format_narrow
$locale->quarter_stand_alone_wide
$locale->quarter_stand_alone_abbreviated
$locale->quarter_stand_alone_narrow
$locale->am_pm_abbreviated
$locale->era_wide
$locale->era_abbreviated
$locale->era_narrow
These methods all return an array reference containing the specified
data.
The methods with "format" in the name should return strings that can be
used a part of a string, like "the month of July". The stand alone
values are for use in things like calendars as opposed to a sentence.
The narrow forms may not be unique (for example, in the day column
heading for a calendar it's okay to have "T" for both Tuesday and
Thursday).
The wide name should always be the full name of thing in question. The
narrow name should be just one or two characters.
These methods return a reference to the data stored in the locale
object. If you change this reference's contents, this will affect the
data in the locale object! You should clone the data first if you want
to modify it.
$locale->date_format_full
$locale->date_format_long
$locale->date_format_medium
$locale->date_format_short
$locale->time_format_full
$locale->time_format_long
$locale->time_format_medium
$locale->time_format_short
$locale->datetime_format_full
$locale->datetime_format_long
$locale->datetime_format_medium
$locale->datetime_format_short
These methods return strings appropriate for the
"DateTime->format_cldr" method.
$locale->format_for($name)
These are accessed by passing a name to "$locale->format_for(...)",
where the name is a CLDR-style format specifier.
The return value is a string suitable for passing to
"$dt->format_cldr", so you can do something like this:
print $dt->format_cldr( $dt->locale->format_for('MMMdd') )
which for the "en" locale would print out something like "08 Jul".
Note that the localization may also include additional text specific to
the locale. For example, the "MMMMd" format for the "zh" locale
includes the Chinese characters for "day" (日) and month (月), so you get
something like "8月23日".
$locale->available_formats
This should return a list of all the format names that could be passed
to "$locale->format_for".
See the documentation for individual locales for details and examples
of these formats. The format names that are available vary by locale.
$locale->glibc_datetime_format
$locale->glibc_date_format
$locale->glibc_date_1_format
$locale->glibc_time_format
$locale->glibc_time_12_format
These methods return strings appropriate for the "DateTime->strftime"
method. However, you are strongly encouraged to use the other format
methods, which use the CLDR format data. They are primarily included
for the benefit for DateTime::Format::Strptime.
$locale->version
The CLDR version from which this locale was generated.
$locale->prefers_24_hour_time
Returns a boolean indicating whether or not the locale prefers 24-hour
time.
$locale->first_day_of_week
Returns a number from 1 to 7 indicating the local first day of the
week, with Monday being 1 and Sunday being 7.
$locale->locale_data
Returns a clone of the original data used to create this locale as a
hash. This is here to facilitate creating custom locales via
"DateTime::Locale-"register_data_locale>.
