Hi Gisle,

I was using the HTTP::Date package to parse dates in MIME Messages and
seem to run into a format that wasn't supported. So I figured I would
e-mail you a patch for hopeful inclusion in the next release.

The format I am talking about is the following:
        Tue, 1 Aug 2000 11:50:28 -0700 (PDT)
        Wed, 2 Aug 2000 11:49:58 -0500 (CDT)
        Wed, 2 Aug 2000 19:17:48 +0200 (CEST)

Notice how the timezone info is duplicated with an abbreviation on
top of the numerical format. Most other MIME messages use simply
        Wed, 2 Aug 2000 19:17:48 +0200

Let me know what you think,
