New version of Time::Local for 5.10.1 and 5.8.9 branches

[Dave Rolsky <autarch@urth.org>]

I've just uploaded Time::Local 1.19 to CPAN. It includes 
this old patch - http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/p/32728

Not to flame Jan, but that patch was incomplete and broken, and had no 
darn tests. It really shouldn't have been applied. This version of 
Time::Local has what's needed to actually work with 64-bit time_t on 
platforms that's supported.

As an aside, it'd be really nice if instead of patching Time::Local in 
core, folks would at least talk to me first.

I'm planning to do a new release of Time::Local soonish that uses 
Time::y2038 under the hood.

I'm not sure how to handle this for core, because it would add a new 
dependency. Also, for 5.11, if the y2038 bits are in core, I'm not sure 
how I'd just use them rather than the Time::y2038. Help is welcome ;)

I've uploaded 1.19 for now because that can go into core for now until 
these issues are worked out.
