Install fails on several Linux systems, see http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Catmandu-Fix-Date+0.0124

Error message:

t/00-load.t .................. ok
Invalid locale code or name: en-EN

Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)

Thanks for reporting this. I'll look into it. Seems like some linux distributions do not have enough localization information.

Is 'en_EN' a valid code or should it be something like 'en_GB' or 'en_US'?

You're right. I don't see it listed on my system either. No idea where I got this from. EN isn't a country code ;-) Something deprecated that used to work in the past? Anyway I see reports on the internet about the same mistake.

The default for datetime is now UTC, so make en_GB the default locale?

[jorol]

OK

[nics]

isn't en_US a more sensible choice?

[nicolasfranck]

Better?

Perfect! Thanks.
