Hey, Dave,
Using 1.56, if I run:
use strict;
use warnings;
use DateTime;
use DateTime::Format::Strptime;
my $parser = DateTime::Format::Strptime->new ( pattern => '%a %b %d %T %Y',
time_zone => DateTime->now->time_zone
) or die "Couldn't parse pattern";
my $datetime = $parser->parse_datetime( 'Wed Feb 29 12:02:28 2013' );
I end up with an undefined result---which is unsurprising since it's a nonsensical date. If I run it with 1.61, I get:
Can't call method "day_of_week_0" on an undefined value at /home/utils/perl5/perlbrew/perls/5.22.0-007/lib/site_perl/5.22.0/DateTime/Format/Strptime.pm line 760.
That seems a little...punitive.
Mike.
