Thanks for the patch. I'll definitely make sure that the bugs are fixed. As far as the YAML conversion, I'm going to have to think about that for a while. One of the problems with Date::Manip is that it's language handling is very crude. An english syntax is used in all cases with foreign words substituted for their english equivalent. That's not really the correct way to do things, since they may have significantly different syntaxes. I am almost done with a complete overhaul of Date::Manip, separating it into several modules. As soon as that is done, and a new version released, I'm going to redo the parsing to be more flexible. As I'm doing that, I can see if YAML is a good option for what I want to do.

Yea, and this is already set up with M:I:S and F:SD. My suggestion would be to keep the YAML conversion (obviously). It makes the module much more maintainable and eliminates the sore ideas like marking up unicode characters in ASCII and such. This way a German author can maintain the YAML file. I could externalize the translations entirely if you are interested in adopting M:Ito a new API. It would also permit interoperability with DateTime.

Languages were stored in YAML as of 6.00.
