This is obviously not the same bug as the other ones. Bug 557738
has actually been fixed. The problem was due to the $year+1900 in

  http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/GBARR/TimeDate-1.19/lib/Date/Parse.pm

(module version 2.29). The "+1900" has been removed in

  http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/GBARR/TimeDate-2.30/lib/Date/Parse.pm

(module version 2.30), and the called function does the right
2-digit -> 4-digit conversion.
