Multiple applications reporting that UnixDate is broken when using 6.05
or 6.07:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Date::Manip;
print &UnixDate("today","It is now %T on %b %e, %Y.\n");
when the above is run, it gives:
It is now 00:00:00 on May 3, 2010.
This worked in 5.54 (the version distributed in Ubuntu 9.10).
Since this problem is occurring in a released version of Ubuntu (10.04),
it would be nice if we could patch it against 6.05. Could you provide
such a patch? If this isn't patchable, could you suggest the best
work-around for the applications?
Thank you!
