LWP installation failed make test: base/date

Hi there,

I'm trying to install Bundle::LWP on my Debian Linux system.

> perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::LWP'

Everything goes fine until make test. Here's some output:

Any idea what could be causing these errors?

Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Interesting. What does these commands print on your system:

perl -le 'print scalar gmtime(0)'
perl -le 'print scalar gmtime(760233600)'
perl -le 'print scalar gmtime(3915993600)'
