Subject: Small make test bug on leap day in TimeDate-1.20
Date: Wed, 29 Feb 2012 20:54:17 +0100
To: bug-TimeDate [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Erik-Jan <ej.lfs [...] xs4all.nl>
Hi, I tried running make test today (29 feb 2012) and it failed test 61 in t/date.t Test 61 tries to make sense of this date: 1999 10:02:18 "GMT" Because today is a leap day, it tries to create a date of 29-02-1999 and that date doesn't exist, resulting in a make test failure. Changing the year to 1996 makes test 61 pass as well. Bye Erik-Jan

Not that anyone else is going to see this problem for another 4 years ... but I've just confirmed the problem, as I ran into myself.
