NAME
DateTime::Locale::Base - Base class for individual locale objects

SYNOPSIS
use base 'DateTime::Locale::Base';

DEFAULT FORMATS
Each locale has a set of four default date and time formats. They are distinguished by
length, and are called "full", "long", "medium", and "short". Each locale may have a dif-
ferent default length which it uses when its "default_date_format()", "default_time_for-
mat()", or "default_datetime_format()" methods are called.

This can be changed by calling the "set_default_date_format()" or "set_default_time_for-
mat()" methods. These methods accept a string which must be one of "full", "long",
"medium", or "short".
