Yeah, that's why the Olson DB uses continents and cities only ;)

I certainly don't object to someone doing this and maintaining a
DT::TZ::ByCountry module.  Just keep in mind that that person will have an
ongoing maintenance burden and will have to deal with all the complaints
likely to arise.

If you want to be that person then go for it ;)

But I won't do it myself, and it won't be included in DT::TZ itself,
especially since the rate of update between the two may vary.
