Hello,

I have a problem using the package DateTime::Format::Strptime.

Using the two following patterns :

pattern => '%B %d %Y %H:%M:%S' eg. 'Dec 16 2014 21:03:46'

pattern => '%B %d %H:%M:%S' eg. 'Sep 16 21:00:00'

The first pattern works, but not the second (which does not include the year neither in pattern neither in string).

Where could be the problem ? 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use DateTime::Format::Strptime;

my $t = 'Dec 16 2014 21:03:46';

my $Strp = DateTime::Format::Strptime::->new(
    pattern     => '%B %d %Y %H:%M:%S',
    locale      => 'en_US',
);
#  
my $dt = $Strp->parse_datetime($t);
print "'$dt'\n";


my $t2 = 'Sep 16 21:00:00';

my $Strp2 = DateTime::Format::Strptime::->new( 
    pattern  => '%B %d %H:%M:%S',
    locale => 'eu_US',
);
#
my $dt2 = $Strp2->parse_datetime($t2);
print "'$dt2'\n";
