Bug#552996: libdate-simple-perl: today()/d8()/ymd() broken in subclasses

[Chris Share]

Package: libdate-simple-perl
Version: 3.03.03-1+b1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***
The constructors today(), d8() and ymd() no longer work in any of the subclasses Date::Simple::D8, Date::Simple::Fmt or Date::Simple::ISO.

The expected result, which worked on an Etch system with version 3.01-1 of this package:
perl -MDate::Simple::Fmt -e 'print Date::Simple::Fmt::today();'
2009-10-28

The obtained result in this version:
perl -MDate::Simple::Fmt -e 'print Date::Simple::Fmt::today();'
Can't call method "_today" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/Date/Simple/Fmt.pm line 11.

Replacing /usr/lib/perl5/Date/Simple/{D8,Fmt,ISO}.pm with the files from 3.01-1 fixes the problem.
