Test 25 for HTTP::Cookies (in t/base/cookies.t) fails when my timezone
is set to "right/America/New_York", but runs fine in "America/New_York".
It appears the problem might be in HTTP::Date, where (perhaps?) leap
seconds aren't taken into account. (My clock is set to TAI rather than
UTC. See: http://www.thedjbway.org/clockspeed/leapsecs.html for
explanation.)

$old ne $c->as_string on line 404. The dates appear to be the only
difference, and they're off by 23 seconds (the number of leap seconds
since the Unix epoch.)

Also, test #1 in t/base/response.t works in non-"right". Fails in
"right" because $current_age is 58, rather than 35 (again off by 23).
And 29/59 tests fail in t/base/date.t. (Sorry. Hadn't finished
installing before I wrote the bug report.)
