Re: What to do about the fact that installing https://metacpan.org/release/TimeDate became broken after 1 Jan 2020 ?

Hello all,

If no one else wants to, I'm willing to take over TimeDate and stay on 
top of the issues going forward.

I also have some extra bandwidth right now to get another release out 
ASAP. I've tested the patch from RT and it does seem to do the trick.
