In testing LWP against bleadperl@15421 there is only one failure
different from perl 5.6.1 (the rest are attributed to proxy
interference).
base/date.............FAILED test 51
Failed 1/58 tests, 98.28% okay
I think this one was already reported to p5p. HTTP::Date is expecting
Time::Local to be able to deal with fractional seconds. That's not
guaranteed by Time::Local, 5.6.1 and back just happened to be able to
do it.
There's two ways to handle this.
1) Have HTTP::Date not assume Time::Local can handle fractional seconds.
So eliminating test 51.
2) Shut off "use integer" in bleadperl's Time::Local to make it handle
fractional seconds (pass them through, really).
Given that localtime/gmtime can't handle fractional seconds, and
Time::Local is supposed to be the mirror of those functions, I'm for
option #1.
