Subject: Started failing mid May
Cpan testers statistics in this page shows that some day in May the module broke pretty much for everybody: http://cpantesters.perl.org/author/RICKM.html Strangely enough the module page at cpantesters does not cover 1.0702 but this is a different bug for somebody else. I'm happy I found out that the author page has the list of all PASSes and FAILs (at least at the time of this writing). The yml file is complete BTW, Thanks,

Closer inspection of the testers reports reveals that the DateTime and DateTime-Locale releases around May 18/19 contribute to the case. CCing Dave. Dave, can you shed some light on the issue? I just downgraded to DateTime-0.42 and DateTime-Locale-0.35 and then all DT:F:Strptime tests passed again.

This is a known problem with a simple fix. Rick, _please_ make a new release to fix this, it's breaking a fair number of modules which depend on yours. In the future, it'd be much better to provide your own custom locale for testing rather than relying on DT::Locale, which can and will change over time. -dave /*========================== VegGuide.Org Your guide to all that's veg ==========================*/

For those following along, the patch below gets the tests passing again.

Would also be nice to apply some patches (such 23768) which also cause the tests to fail. Many of these patches are quite old - does this module need a new maintainer? 23768 is the addition of a single 'g' character: that shouldn't be to hard to make a new minor release around.

This was fixed in 1.0800. Sorry I've left tickets open folks :-D In future, please log bugs in the google-code project: http://code.google.com/p/datetime-format-strptime/
