in thread parse_dir doesn't seem to work

Yeah, that's it. Getting "Can't parse" errors. Weird. Here's a typical line:
Can't parse: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15264 2008- +01-03 12:46 out
Thanks, man.

    On my linux box, I can get such a listing via ls -l --time-style=long-iso, which in particular produces the 2008-01-03 date formatting. Do you have an alias for ls that includes a --time-style option?

    That date format looks odd... Without digging into the File::Listing code, I'd guess that's where it's choking.
