[ic] why does convert-date cause 500 error? (Foundation demo)

[Mike Heins]

Quoting Glenn McCalley (techlist@bnetmd.net):

This is a bad POSIX library on your system, or a bad build by Perl of
its links to it.

It is a shame that Perl and FreeBSD work so poorly together. These
problems are constant, and in my opinion the FreeBSD people should be
concerned that there are so many bad Perl builds out there.
