Hi Reini,

It looks like something changed between perl 5.10.0-4 and -5 which breaks
the DateTime module from CPAN (version 0.4302, latest).  The attached Simple
Test Case(tm) results in only the following errors:

Use of uninitialized value $id in pattern match (m//) at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10/DateTime/Locale.pm line 65.
Use of uninitialized value $id in exists at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10/DateTime/Locale.pm line 68.
Use of uninitialized value $native_pieces[0] in join or string at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10/DateTime/Locale.pm line 83.
Use of uninitialized value $id in hash element at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10/DateTime/Locale.pm line 85.

You cannot replace an existing locale ('') unless you also specify the

Doing the "perl -MExtUtils::Installed [...]"/"cpan `cat module.list`" thing
(and also a "force install DateTime") results in the same errors, and
needless to say doesn't end up generating a working DateTime module.  This
same version of DateTime did work without error in 5.10.0-4 and does work
with 5.8.8-4.
