.IX Title "DateTime::Locale::Base 3"
.TH DateTime::Locale::Base 3 "2010-03-19" "perl v5.8.8" "User Contributed Perl Documentation"
.SH "NAME"
DateTime::Locale::Base \- Base class for individual locale objects
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.SH "DEFAULT FORMATS"
.IX Header "DEFAULT FORMATS"
Each locale has a set of four default date and time formats.  They are
distinguished by length, and are called \*(L"full\*(R", \*(L"long\*(R", \*(L"medium\*(R", and
\&\*(L"short\*(R". Each locale may have a different default length which it uses
when its \f(CW\*(C`$locale\->date_format_default()\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`$locale\->time_format_default()\*(C'\fR, or \f(CW\*(C`$locale\->datetime_format_default()\*(C'\fR methods are called.
.PP
This can be changed by calling the \f(CW\*(C`$locale\->set_default_date_format()\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`$locale\->set_default_time_format()\*(C'\fR methods.  These methods accept a
string which must be one of \*(L"full\*(R", \*(L"long\*(R", \*(L"medium\*(R", or \*(L"short\*(R".
.SH "NAME FORMS"
.IX Header "NAME FORMS"
Most names come in a number of variations. First, they may vary based
on length, with wide, abbreviated, and narrow forms. The wide form is
typically the full name, while the narrow form is often a single
character. The narrow forms may not be unique. For example, \*(L"T\*(R" may be
used for Tuesday and Thursday in the English narrow forms.
.PP
Many names also distinguish between \*(L"format\*(R" and \*(L"stand\-alone\*(R" forms
of a pattern. The format pattern is used when the thing in question is
being placed into a larger string. The stand-alone form is used when
displaying that item by itself, for example in a calendar.
