libwww test bug: base/date fails immediately after daylight saving transition

Hello. This is just FYI...

I've just figured out why the libwww-perl tests passed last week but not 
today: we've just transitioned here into daylight saving (GMT -> BST)

The failing test is in t/base/date.t, below. It uses a reference date three 
days in the past. By converting it using localtime() this test is sensitive 
to daylight saving. So this test will fail today, but not tomorrow!

Regards,
Steve James

# test the 'ls -l' format with missing year$

$time = int((time - 3 * 24*60*60) /60)*60;
($min, $hr, $mday, $mon) = (localtime $time)[1,2,3,4];
$mon = (qw(Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec))[$mon];
$str = sprintf("$mon %02d %02d:%02d", $mday, $hr, $min);
$t = str2time($str);
$t = "UNDEF" unless defined $t;
print "'$str'  =>  $t ($time)\n";
print "not " if $t != $time;
ok;
