PHP decided to invent its own date template format. Its C<date()> function
accepts template string in which you specify single letter conversions like C<Y'
(for 4-digit year),>yC<(2-digit year), and so on. Some of the letters mean the
same like their counterpart in strftime, but some are different (examples:>iC<,
>aC<,>M`, and so on). The use of single letter means it's more concise, but the
format becomes unsuitable if you want to put other stuffs (like some string
alphabetical literals) in addition to date components.

In Perl, you can use the L<PHP::DateTime> to format dates using PHP C<date()>
format.

=head1 FAQ

=head2 What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?

An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module
names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and
document CPAN. See L<Acme::CPANModules> for more details.

=head2 What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?

Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can
install all the listed modules (entries) using L<cpanm-cpanmodules> script (from
L<App::cpanm::cpanmodules> distribution):

 % cpanm-cpanmodules -n FormattingDate

Alternatively you can use the L<cpanmodules> CLI (from L<App::cpanmodules>
distribution):

    % cpanmodules ls-entries FormattingDate | cpanm -n

or L<Acme::CM::Get>:

    % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=FormattingDate -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n

or directly:

    % perl -MAcme::CPANModules::FormattingDate -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::FormattingDate::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n

This Acme::CPANModules module also helps L<lcpan> produce a more meaningful
result for C<lcpan related-mods> command when it comes to finding related
modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module.
See L<App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods> for more details on how "related modules"
are found.

=head1 CONTRIBUTING


To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on
GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can
simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your
system), you can install L<Dist::Zilla>,
L<Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR>,
L<Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR>, and sometimes one or two other
Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond
that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
