Bug Information
Severity: (no value)
Broken in: 1.31-TRIAL
Fixed in: (no value)



Subject: "found extra parameters: [locale]" (1.29-TRIAL)
It seems that the test suites of some CPAN distributions fail if DateTime-1.29-TRIAL is installed. The test failures look like this: found extra parameters: [locale]# Looks like your test exited with 255 just after 1. (Just a guess: different behavior because of the switch to Params::CheckCompiler?) The failing CPAN distributions I found so far: * BOOK/DateTime-Format-Mail-0.402.tar.gz * MARCEL/Module-Changes-0.05.tar.gz * DMAKI/DateTime-Calendar-Chinese-1.00.tar.gz

More "victims": * DMAKI/DateTime-Format-RSS-0.03000.tar.gz * DWHEELER/App-Sqitch-0.9994.tar.gz * DAVECROSS/XML-Feed-0.53.tar.gz Also failing, but it's not clear if this is the same or another problem: * MGRIMES/Media-DateTime-0.48.tar.gz
Subject: DateTime-1.29-TRIAL breaks CPAN (other failures)
Some CPAN distributions seem to break due to other reasons that the one mentioned in https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=115420 These are: * ISHIGAKI/DateTimeX-Web-0.07.tar.gz * MIYAGAWA/Acme-DateTime-Duration-Numeric-0.03.tar.gz * DMAKI/XML-RSS-LibXML-0.3105.tar.gz This one shows the following diagnostics: # <lastBuildDate>2006-10-14T21:15:36+00:00</lastBuildDate> # doesn't match '(?^:<lastBuildDate>Sat, 14 Oct 2006 21:15:36 [+-]0000</lastBuildDate>)'

More: * RSAVAGE/Gedcom-Date-0.09.tgz * SHLOMIF/XML-RSS-1.59.tar.gz * DROLSKY/Courriel-0.41.tar.gz
Thanks for investigating. Most of these are cascading failures because DateTime::Format::Mail dies. I've submitted patches as relevant. The thing that DT::F::Mail (and some others) were doing is actually something that can cause weird behavior in certain corner cases, so it's good to fix it.

Requires DateTime::Format::Mail Show quoted text

There's a non-acme version named autobox::DateTime::Duration that seems to work. Show quoted text
