Bug #49767 for DateTime: Allow arbitrary method output in CLDR formats

Subject:

[is there/can we add] a CLDR equiv for %s/%{epoch}

Hello again, Last one I promise :) Just FYI: I am filing this rt under DateTime::Locale instead DateTime since ::Locale specifies formats, let me know if I should re-file under DateTime (or if this simply won't be implemented), thanks. strftime() has %s for 'The number of seconds since the epoch.' Also it supported %{epoch} to have it call the DT method "epoch". I can't seem to find an equivalent way to do 'The number of seconds since the epoch.' with format_cldr() $ perl -MDateTime -le 'print DateTime->now()->strftime("%B %{day}, %Y %{hour_12}:%M:%S %p %{time_zone_long_name} == %s");' September 16, 2009 6:24:23 PM UTC == 1253125463 $ perl -MDateTime -le 'print DateTime->now()->strftime("%B %{day}, %Y %{hour_12}:%M:%S %p %{time_zone_long_name} == %{epoch}");' September 16, 2009 6:24:33 PM UTC == 1253125473 $ perl -MDateTime -le 'print DateTime->now()->format_cldr("MMMM d, y h:mm:ss a z == ???");' September 16, 2009 6:24:40 PM UTC == ??? Is a CLDR %s equivalent currently available and I just missed it? (If so what did I miss?) If not: how [im]possible/[un]likley is it to be added?

I think supporting something like this in the CLDR output would be nice but I haven't come up with anything that I think fits in with the CLDR style. If you have any ideas please send them to datetime@perl.org.

I've looked at this several times over the years and I've come to the conclusion that there's no good way to do this. CLDR just uses random letters as formats, so there's no good way to allow method names in the format. It's not that terrible to write: $dt->format_cldr('MMM') . $dt->method
