| Subject: | Parser breaks on 'ga' locale |
I was CPAN testing this module and discovered a curious problem. When you run this on Windows with Perl 5.6.1, for all the non 'en' locales, I get failures. Putting diagnostics on, the first failure for 'ga' had the following first few lines:
Entered = 2005-12-01 Déardaoin
Parser = ($year, $month, $day, $dow_name) = $time_string =~ /(\d{4})\-([\d ]?\d)\-([\d ]?\d) (Dé\ Domhnaigh|Dé\ Sathairn|Dé\ Céadaoin|Déardaoin|Dé\ hAoine|Dé\ Luain|Dé\ Máirt|Máirt|Céad|Déar|\w+)/
dow_name = Déardaoin
Note how the dow_name has changed from the originally entered string. This happens for 'pt' and 'de' as well.
This is currently causing a block on testing for a number of distributions which depend on this distribution :(
If you need more information, please let me know.
