I have a small Perl script, it tests that my email is working OK.
I've moved to from Debian release to Release for about 15 years. I keep needing to make small mods.
I recently moved from Debian 11 to 12 and again it failed. This time:
I can see on my old "bullseye" that : /usr/share/perl5/Email/Date.pm, exists
and within it:
format_gmdate()
But on bookworm ,we seem to have:
/usr/share/perl5/Email/Date/Format.pm
and within it:
email_gmdate()
So, my best guess is I go from using:
to
I did see:
But I assumed this was a simple (![:-)]( "Smile")
) repackaging to make dependency checking simpler. But this looks like an API change.
Has Perl changed the API or am I using this wrongly?

Code:
Can't locate Email/Date.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Email::Date module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.36.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.36 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36 /usr/share/perl/5.36 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/local/bin/newmailtest line 22.Code:
Now the line in question is:use Email::Date;it's used as: my $date = Email::Date::format_gmdate(); # nowand within it:
format_gmdate()
But on bookworm ,we seem to have:

So, my best guess is I go from using:
Code:
use Email::Date;...my $date = Email::Date::format_gmdate(); # nowCode:
use Email::Date::Format...my $date = Email::Date::Format::email_gmdate() ; # nowPackage: libemail-date-format-perl (1.008-1)
Module to generate RFC-2822-valid date strings
Email::Date::Format provides a simple means for generating an RFC 2822 compliant datetime string. It was refactored from Email::Date to avoid large dependency chains.
But I assumed this was a simple (
) repackaging to make dependency checking simpler. But this looks like an API change.Has Perl changed the API or am I using this wrongly?
