Bug#612083: libdate-manip-perl: ParseRecur breaks for some recur definitions

[Scott Barker]

Package: libdate-manip-perl
Version: 6.11-1
Severity: normal

ParseRecur fails on some recur definitions. For example, these:

  perl -e'use Date::Manip; @dates=ParseRecur("0:0:1*6:0:0:0**2007120800:00:00*2011013000:00:00*",undef,undef,"3 years");'
  perl -e'use Date::Manip; @dates=ParseRecur("0:0:1*6:0:0:0**2008081600:00:00*2011013000:00:00*",undef,undef,"3 years");'
  perl -e'use Date::Manip; @dates=ParseRecur("0:0:1*6:0:0:0**2010061200:00:00*2011013000:00:00*",undef,undef,"3 years");'
  perl -e'use Date::Manip; @dates=ParseRecur("0:0:2*5:0:0:0**2008081500:00:00*2011011500:00:00*",undef,undef,"3 years");'
  perl -e'use Date::Manip; @dates=ParseRecur("0:0:2*5:0:0:0**2009011600:00:00*2011011500:00:00*",undef,undef,"3 years");'
  perl -e'use Date::Manip; @dates=ParseRecur("0:0:3*4:0:0:0**2010102100:00:00*2011011400:00:00*",undef,undef,"3 years");'
  perl -e'use Date::Manip; @dates=ParseRecur("0:0:3*6:0:0:0**2011011500:00:00*2011011600:00:00*",undef,undef,"3 years");'
  perl -e'use Date::Manip; @dates=ParseRecur("0:0:6*6:0:0:0**2011012900:00:00*2011012900:00:00*",undef,undef,"3 years");'
  perl -e'use Date::Manip; @dates=ParseRecur("0:0:12*2:0:0:0**2011030800:00:00*2011030800:00:00*",undef,undef,"3 years");'

all produce the error:

  Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/share/perl5/Date/Manip/Recur.pm line 1066.

However, these all work fine:

  perl -e'use Date::Manip; @dates=ParseRecur("0:0:3*6:0:0:0**2010112000:00:00*2011012300:00:00*",undef,undef,"3 years");'
  perl -e'use Date::Manip; @dates=ParseRecur("0:0:4*6:0:0:0**2011010800:00:00*2011010900:00:00*",undef,undef,"3 years");'
  perl -e'use Date::Manip; @dates=ParseRecur("0:0:8*6:0:0:0**2010120400:00:00*2010120500:00:00*",undef,undef,"3 years");'
  perl -e'use Date::Manip; @dates=ParseRecur("0:0:12*2:0:0:0**2011012500:00:00*2011012600:00:00*",undef,undef,"3 years");'
