I have just uploaded to CPAN a release of the TimeDate distribution.

It contains the following additions :

 * The addition of %z to date formats, to output the timezone as +0100.

 * A first pass at internationalization. It can now parse and
   format dates in English, French, German and Italian.

As this is only a first pass for Date::Language the documentation is
non-existent. See t/lang.t for a short example

Parsing and formatting international dates is done by calling static
methods, eg

	Date::Language::German->ctime(time);

or on an object;

	$g = Date::Language::German->new();
	$g->ctime(time);

all the subroutines from Date::Parse and Date::Format can be called as 
methods for international dates.

It should be avaliable on mirror sites soon.

Comments are always very welcome.
