I get surprising results with :

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
#
# Problem with Date::Manip
#
use strict;
use warnings;
use Date::Manip;
my $Date;

sub printit{
     my $Datea = &ParseDate($Date);
    my $Dateb = " english dates Ok";
    if(!$Datea){        
        &Date_Init("Language=French");
        $Dateb = &ParseDate($Date);
        &Date_Init("Language=English");
        $Datea = "Try french?";
        if(!$Dateb) { $Dateb = "French fails too!";}
    }
    print "== $Datea $Dateb\n";
}

$Date = 'Tue Sep 27 12:46:10 CEST 2005';
printit();
$Date = 'lun oct 17 15:59:40 CEST 2005';
printit();
$Date = 'mer sep 28 09:41:54 CEST 2005';
printit();

And I get :

== 2005092712:46:10  english dates Ok
== Try french? 2005101715:59:40
== Try french? French fails too!

The question is : What Date::Manip has against the month of September? Or more probably : What am I missing?
Thank you in advance, kind monks

Edit: g0n - changed pre tags to code tags
