Hi Norbert,

The way the locale data is packaged changed a while back in the 1.00
release in 2015. There's no longer a `.pm` file per locale. If you want to
preload locale data, you should just call `DateTime::Locale->load($locale)`=
.

I'm guessing you have some `Storable`-serialized `DateTime` objects that
included pre-1.00 locales. The only way to thaw them is probably to install
an older `DateTime-Locale` release.

Longer-term, I'd suggest _not_ using `Storable` to serialize data. It
generates data that is too tied together with the internals of the
libraries that produced the objects.


Cheers,
