That's cool .. I imagine that we'll change it in short-order to get it from
the Locale .. which makes me think of something that Locale might need ..
$locale = new DateTime::Locale::en_AU;
$locale->eras();
# returns ('BCE' and 'ACE')
$locale->eras('BC', 'AD');
# returns ('BC' and 'AD') and sets these in the $locale (but not
DT::Locale::en_AU)
There would be similar accessors for all other parts of Locale also.
There should also be a
$locale->saveas("/path/to/file.pm");
which could save a new module using the changes
and a matching
$locale = DateTime::Locale::load("/path/to/file.pm");
I'd like to see this because:
1. I'd prefer to use AD and BC, but understand that others want BCE and ACE
(or CE)
2. Locale says Aussies like the date form dd/mm/yy whereas, some if not most
of use use dd/mm/yyyy as the short date format
3. There is a potential that at my company we use the name weedend1 and
weekend2 instead of Saturday and Sunday (OK, not likely but there'd be call
for local dialects!)
Cheers!
