Bug #83460 for Mac-PropertyList: Date portion of <date> fields is missing when reading binary plist under win32

Subject:

Date portion of <date> fields is missing when reading binary plist under win32

I've noticed that under 32-bit Windows (not sure about 64-bit), I have noticed that when reading a binary plist, such as: <key>LastUpdate</key> <date>2013-02-19T20:49:56Z</date> I get "T20:49:56Z" instead of "2013-02-19T20:49:56Z", using the code below: Show quoted text

> perl -E " use Mac::PropertyList qw(:all); my $data = parse_plist_file

q/metadata.plist/; my $pd = $data->as_perl; say $data->{LastUpdate}->value " I get the proper value if I convert the plist file to plain XML. This only appears to occur under Windows, testing with ActivePerl 5.14.1 on two different Windows XP 32-bit machines. I could not reproduce this under Linux with either Perl 5.14.1 or 5.16.1. Thank you.

I don't have time to investigate this myself, but if you can provide that metadata.plist file, or any file that shows the problem, I can at least see if I can replicate it. If you come up with a patch, send it along. Thanks, On Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 7:01 PM, via RT <bug-Mac-PropertyList@rt.cpan.org>wrote: Show quoted text

This works for me on my Mac, so I'm guessing it's a Windows issue with the binary parsing. On Fri, Mar 29, 2013 at 11:36 AM, SZR via RT < bug-Mac-PropertyList@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

It works for me under Linux and OS X as well. The bug appears to only rear it's head under Win32. -szr On 3/29/2013 12:23 PM, brian d foy via RT wrote: Show quoted text

I looked at this briefly and it seems like the problem must be in either gmtime() or POSIX::strftime(). Perhaps there is What do you get on your system if you execute this?: use POSIX; print "Cocoa epoch is: ".POSIX::strftime("%FT%H:%M:%SZ\n", gmtime(978307200)); Ideally you'd get this: Cocoa epoch is: 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z

Yes, under Linux I get: Cocoa epoch is: 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z but under Windows I get: T00:00:00Z Which is consistent with the previous tests. Thanks, at least it's known where the problem actually is.

Reading the POSIX docs, it says under strftime: If you want your code to be portable, your format ("fmt") argument should use only the conversion specifiers defined by the ANSI C standard (C89, to play safe). These are "aAbBcdHIjmMpSUwWxXyYZ%". I'm using the %F there to create %Y-%m-%d. I should stop doing that. I've released 1.38_02 with a trial fix. See if that works for you.

Yes, after installing this version, it I see both the date and time now, using the original test case. Thank you very much.

I've released 1.39, so the latest version has this fix.
