Those seem to be about `t/getdate.t` rather than `t/date.t` so that's a different problem I think? rt://TimeDate seems to have a sizeable (and increasing) number of issues, alas.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Applying the patch as recommended results in a successful install, it doesn't work otherwise. Update: This isn't to say that the printf warning is wrong, it's just not the cause of OPs problem, the failure of the module installation. See http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=TimeDate+2.30, all tests since the beginning of 2020 have failed. There are several open issues for the 2020 problem, also https://pandorafms.com/blog/2020-perl/.	[reply]

++ @ marto You are right. Thanks for looking into it and pointing this out Question: Is there a way cpanm can automatically apply the patch given? I have no clue whether or not it's possible. Answer: No, there isn't Does cpanm support the feature XYZ of CPAN and CPANPLUS? Most likely not. Here are the things that cpanm doesn't do by itself.

In case anyone is interested, this is my workaround in my docker-compose.yaml COPY cpanfile . # Patched TimeDate. See https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=124509 COPY TimeDate-2.30 /TimeDate-2.30 RUN cpanm /TimeDate-2.30 \ && cpanm --installdeps . \ && rm -rf TimeDate-2.30 The local copy I have is already patched I'm sure there are better ways to achieve this `s$$([},&%#}/&/]+}%&{});#$&&s&&$^X.($'^"%]=\&(\|?{%` `+`.+=%;.#_}\&"^"-+%*).}%:##%}={~=~:.")&e&&s""`$''`"e	[reply] [d/l] [select]
