While debugging Bugzilla, I found something weird with
Date::Parse::strptime() version 2.27.
# perl -MDate::Parse -we 'my @a = strptime("2008.11.30 22:35 CET");
print join(":", @a);'
It returns:
0:35:22:30:10:108:3600.
But if you write:
perl -MDate::Parse -we 'my @a = strptime("2008-11-30 22:35 CET"); print
join(":", @a);'
It returns:
Use of uninitialized value $a[0] in join or string at -e line 1.
:35:22:30:10:108:3600
Note that seconds are undefined in this last case, despite the date is
basically the same (I only replaced dots by dashes). This triggers
crashes in places where no undefined values are expected.
