Mmm, I had noticed they seemed to think it worked too.

Next question is: Why is DateTime failing *for me* ;)

The failing tests seem to have, as their underlying failure:

Can't locate object method "_normalize_tai_seconds" via package
"DateTime::Infinite::Future"

Which is an XS method from DateTime.so..

Oddly, I now see that if I force install DateTime, I can then run the
code from the tests successfully.. but running the actual tests
fails.. seems like they aren't picking up the blib/arch/ bits. Odd.

Thanks for the confirmation that it was something at my end :)
