[Catalyst] BUG? value isn't numeric on Catalyst.pm 1357

[Ruben Fonseca]

Hi!

I'm here to report something I think it's a bug.

I'm using the latest Catalyst stable distribution on Perl 5.8.8 and  
MacOS 10.4.

I notice *a lot* of errors of this kind during debug:

Argument "0,055361" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==) at /opt/local/ 
lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Catalyst.pm line 1357

Looking at the code at the specified line I can see that a  
tv_interval is passed through a sprintf "%f" that - at least in my  
system and my locale - transforms the float into a number with a comma.

logically when in the line 1357 the string is compared to 0, it  
results in an error...

I can't understand with the sprintf is necessary: the tv_interval  
always returns a float number. So the solution for me was to remove  
the sprintf "%f" on line 1356, and then it all started working  
flawlessly.

What do you think about this?

Thank you
Rúben
