RFC1123 allows that (though recommends a four-digit). Here is a patch to fix. I am considering two-digit years to mean a range of 1977 through 2076; I have picked this range as (a) I can't find a standard way to do it in RFC1123, RFC822, or RFC733 and (b) 1977 is the year RFC773 (which seems to have introduced this silly format) was written. - --- FeedPP.pm.old 2008-10-23 23:11:14.000000000 -0400 +++ FeedPP.pm 2008-10-23 23:24:07.000000000 -0400 @@ -2242,6 +2242,8 @@ return unless defined $str; my ( $mday, $mon, $year, $hour, $min, $sec, $tz ) = ( $str =~ $rfc1123_regexp ); return unless ( $year && $mon && $mday ); + $year += 2000 if $year < 77; + $year += 1900 if $year < 100; $mon = $MoY{ uc($mon) } or return; my $epoch = Time::Local::timegm( $sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon-1, $year-1900 ); $epoch -= &get_tz_offset( $tz ); - -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (130, 'unstable'), (120, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libxml-feedpp-perl depends on: ii libxml-treepp-perl 0.33-1.1 XML::TreePP -- Pure Perl implement ii perl 5.10.0-15 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction libxml-feedpp-perl recommends no packages. libxml-feedpp-perl suggests no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkkBQM0ACgkQ+z+IwlXqWf55mACgjNhGf5N0nUF22ZQN7VlBXyIl ibAAn2raY2TUXOOo5OThp5t8LU9UQnXd =NrCI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
