One of the things that is perhaps not uniquely Perl but perly is whimsy. This is fresh off the bit loom: DateTime::Format::Baby. More Acme than DateTime, but fun nonetheless. And whydon'twerunmorewordstogether? #GermansHaveAlldasVergnügen.

use strictures;
use open qw( :encoding(UTF-8) :std );
use DateTime::Format::Baby;

my $now = DateTime->now;
for my $lingo ( DateTime::Format::Baby->languages )
{
    my $baby = eval { DateTime::Format::Baby->new(language => $lingo) 
+} || next;
    printf "%12s -> %s\n", $lingo, $baby->format_datetime($now);
}
