Hi all, I'm having a problem fetching splits with Finance::QuoteHist-1.12. My actual code is long and gross and most of it irrelevant to this problem (or I would assume anyway). I get the same problem using the basic sample code in the module documentation: 
use Finance::QuoteHist;
  $q = Finance::QuoteHist->new
     (
      symbols    => [qw(IBM UPS AMZN)],
      start_date => '01/01/2008', # or 'one year ago', see Date::Manip
      end_date   => 'today',
     );

  # Quotes
  foreach $row ($q->quotes()) {
    ($symbol, $date, $open, $high, $low, $close, $volume) = @$row;
  }

  # Splits
  foreach $row ($q->splits()) {
     ($symbol, $date, $post, $pre) = @$row;
  }

  # Dividends
  foreach $row ($q->dividends()) {
     ($symbol, $date, $dividend) = @$row;
  }

  # Culprit
  $fetch_class = $q->quote_source('IBM');

Here is the error I get:

+tivePerl-5.10/site/lib/Date/Manip.pm line 134.
Problem parsing date string ''

I'm not sure if this is an error on my part somehow or a glitch in the module, and I wanted to run it by the monks before submitting a bug report. Because I get the error with the module's sample code, I'm assuming it's not a problem with my own code but let me know if you feel it would be useful to post that too and I will. Thanks.
