Bug#558272: Date::Calc::Decode_Month(): argument is not a string

Package: libdate-calc-perl
Version: 6.0-1
Severity: important

An important regression:

$ echo Oct | perl -p -e 'use Date::Calc qw(Decode_Month); s!(\w+)!Decode_Month($1)!e'
Date::Calc::Decode_Month(): argument is not a string at -e line 1, <> line 1.

I've reverted to libdate-calc-perl 5.8-1 and this problem disappeared.
