Package: libdate-manip-perl
Version: 6.11-1
Severity: normal
Date::Manip does not handle the case correctly where a specified time
lies in a non-existing gap, e.g. here in Germany between 2am and 3am
when the time is skipping one hour.
Try this to reproduce the bug:
---8<----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<---
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; use warnings;
use Date::Manip;
&Date_Init();
my $d = ParseDate("2012-03-25 at 02:11");

Me neither before looking into the docs due to your bug report :)

D'oh!
Thanks, I indeed missed the return value.
