[rt-users] Question about Encode::Compat

[Randy Franklin]

Hi,

I have a question regarding Encode::Compat.  I am running the following:

RedHat-7.3
Apache 1.3.27 from RedHat
mod_perl 1.26 from RedHat
RT 3.0.8
perl 5.6.1 from RedHat
mysql 3.23.56 from RedHat
Encode::Compat 0.05

I have all of the necessary modules loaded and everything has been 
working wonderfully for some time.  During this month of February, 
which is during a leap year, I get following error every know and again 
when I load a page in RT:

error: Unsupported conversion: Invalid argument at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Encode/compat/common.pm line 115.

 From everything I've read up to now I know I should be running perl 
5.8, but I was wondering if the Encode error is due to this being a 
leap year month?  Does anyone think the problem will go away on March 
1, 2004?

According to http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=3657 this is a known 
problem.

I would like to avoid upgrading perl for a little while, since this 
system is in production; I know I will have to upgrade soon.  I was 
wondering if this is something that I should expect will be broken from 
here on out with my configuration.

Thanks!
