Subject: Parsing more broken dates from mail clients

To: bug-Mail-Box [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Andrew Beverley <andy [...] andybev.com>
Another case of broken mail clients. This time I have found some that incorrectly put periods between time elements instead of colons. For example: "Date: Tue, 9 Jul 2013 08.41.36 +0200". This is currently parsed as "02 Saturday 00:00 LMT". This patch provides a workaround and fixes that behaviour. It is patched against the previously updated file. --- Date-new.pm 2013-07-04 22:46:10.000000000 +0100 +++ /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/Mail/Message/Field/Date.pm 2013-07-11 20:27:49.000000000 +0100 @@ -31,8 +31,8 @@ \s+ ( [A-Z][a-z][a-z] ) \s+ # month ( 19[0-9][0-9] | 2[0-9]{3} ) \s+ # year ( [0-1]?[0-9] | 2[0-3] ) \s* # hour - \: ( [0-5][0-9] ) \s* # minute - (?: \: ( [0-5][0-9] ) )? \s+ # second + [\:\.] ( [0-5][0-9] ) \s* # minute + (?: [\:\.] ( [0-5][0-9] ) )? \s+ # second ( [+-][0-9]{4} | [A-Z]+ )? # zone \s* /x or return undef;

RFC 5322 section 3.3 forbids it... time = time-of-day zone time-of-day = hour ":" minute [ ":" second ] hour = 2DIGIT / obs-hour minute = 2DIGIT / obs-minute second = 2DIGIT / obs-second But it is too easy to support, so accepted. Show quoted text

I thought that would probably be the case, but there is so much broken code out there... Actually, I think the email was spam, but nonetheless I still need to handle it otherwise I get lots of warnings generated. Show quoted text
