Short answer: As of DateTime v0.72 on my local machine, %c is not directly configurable.
A little more info: %c is hardcoded to use the locale's `datetime_format_default` (search for "strftime_patterns" in DateTime.pm) DateTime::Locale::ko does not override 'datetime_format_default'. Nor does it override 'default_date_format_length', or 'default_time_format_length', both of which default to 'medium' (see DateTime::Locale::root.) DT:Loc:ko's "medium" date/time formats are "yyyy\.\ M\.\ d\." and "a\ h\:mm\:ss", which is why you get the output below. So without modifying/overriding DateTime::Locale::ko, or dropping your use of %c in favor of a custom formatter, it may be difficult to fix your problem. If the locale's definitions for the 'medium' formats are wrong/outdated (see http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads) you could propose an update to the locale class itself, but I am unsure of the "official" way to do this. -Nate On Wed, Oct 24, 2012 at 2:36 AM, Bill Moseley <mose...@hank.org> wrote: > We have been using formats %c, %x and %X for localizing dates based on > Locale.
