| Subject: | Locale-dependent test failures |
The t/Bio-Gonzales-Util-Log.t and t/Bio-Gonzales-Util-Log_threads.t tests may fail under some circumstances:
* a locale which uses non-ascii characters is in effect
* the current month abbreviation contains non-ascii characters
This is currently the case in the German locale (e.g. using LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8) (March translates to "März" which abbreviates to "Mär").
The test output looks like this:
# Failed test 'log debug test'
# at t/Bio-Gonzales-Util-Log.t line 18.

Possible workarounds:
* make sure that an English locale is used (i.e by setting LC_ALL=C or so)
* match the month name with \S+ instead of \w+
