Hi,
it appears one of our developers found an issue that results in "out of memory" errors when using Date::Manip. It appears it's only in the version 6 portion. On systems w/ perl 5.8, it seems to function as expected. Below is a test-case that generates the error on AIX, w/ perl 5.10. Additionally, it appears to only affect the 64bit version of perl.
I didn't see it already reported via the bug reporting interface, so it may have been fixed already. If you've already seen this and fixed it, then I will just get the updated version (6.47). Unfortunately due to various internal issues, downloading and testing new code is very cumbersome here (otherwise, I would do that first). Of course, it could be an internal perl issue as well, and any help you can offer tracking this down is much appreciated.
Thanks for your help and time,
Joshua Taylor
