The formats returned by "$locale->available_formats" are keys that you use
to access the localized format from "$locale->format_for($key)".
So what you wanted to write was this:
```
use DateTime;
my $dt = DateTime->now( locale => 'en-US' );
for my $fmt ( $dt->locale->available_formats ) {
my $val = $dt->format_cldr( $dt->locale->format_for($fmt) );
say "$fmt : $val";
}
```
Each locale will implement some subset of the possible keys, but the keys
themselves are the same between locales. In other words, for all locales
that have a format for "abbreviated month with numeric day", the key will
be "MMMd", but the actual formats returned by `$local->format_for('MMMd')`
will differ.
