Test::Simple 0.95_01 is broken. I think I have already informed Schwern
about the breakage in another ticket but at the moment I cannot find it.
First I've heard of it. Tracked it down, its something specific to DateTime's
brand of overloading. And it appears that Test::More is doing its job better now.
If you replace the is($date, $string) calls with ok( $date eq $string ) they
still fail. The eq overloading on that object is broken. You can see it with
a test like:
ok( $dt eq '2009-06-22T23:59:00', "eq" );
ok( "$dt" eq '2009-06-22T23:59:00', "stringified" );
They should be equivalent, but the former will fail. It appears to be a
general DateTime problem.
Test::More has a tendency to stringify everything before comparing. We're
slowly removing that in order to reveal the underlying overloaded operators.
The change in behavior above is exactly why. Unless there's a very good
reason, "$obj" eq $string and $obj eq $string should react the same way.
