use DateTime::TimeZone;
my $otz;
eval {
$otz = new DateTime::TimeZone( name => 'Europ/Paris' );
};
unless ( $otz )
{
print "Got undef: $@";
}
print "And life goes on\n";

Got undef: Invalid time zone name: Europ/Paris at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/DateTime/TimeZone.pm line 69.
And life goes on
