Bug #5239 for TimeDate: %e %l and others in the Date::Format library use the wrong sprinf() call

Subject:

%e %l and others in the Date::Format library use the wrong sprinf() call

in Date/Format.pm the %e %l %k and %o options provide the wrong data An example of this would be ' 2/ 4/04' rather than '2/4/04' this is caused by what appears to be a typo in the sprintf() calls.

No, it is correct. It mimics what strftime in libc does. $ perl -MPOSIX=strftime -le 'print scalar localtime(time-3600*15),"\n",strftime("%e/%l/%k",localtime(time -3600*15))' Fri Feb 6 07:18:30 2004 6/ 7/ 7 Graham.
