What did you do?
That's my question. And I think I found it: If I do class Article
include REXML ... ... end
I get the error with strptime.
If I use REXML:
ocument and don't include, then everything is fine.
So REXML does something to Date.
I run ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]
Since I cannot duplicate the problem in irb with a simple include,
here's the code that duplicates this, maybe someone can see what's wrong.
Cheers,
V.-
