[blog] RSS pubDate fails in different locales

[preaction]

The RSS spec says they follow RFC822 for date/time specification, which uses English and only English (en-US even). The code appears to use the current locale.

Here's another one that doesn't appear to do +0000 time-zone offset properly: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/61d9746e-6bfb-1014-9c11-41f2a2a50bb5

Here's another one with a different locale: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/f40c8f58-8ad8-11e4-96b2-96d7e0bfc7aa

This is a new failure, and I officially have no idea what's happening there...

Here's one for Windows, looks like it treats the time zone differently.

It looks like both of those new failures should be fixed since they're both Windows which doesn't do %T or %z like POSIX does. We might have to go so far as rolling our own little date library to do this, because I don't want to pull in DateTime for something like this...

Could Perl be smoothing over these platform differences for me?
