The time zone info is easy to get from the registry. The problem is, it looks like "E. South America Daylight Time", which is not compatible with the Olson database. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\ However, there is a table that maps this name into cities, here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Time Zones\ (the key "Windows" can also be "Windows NT") Anyone willing to make a "Win32::DateTime::GetTimeZone" module? - Flavio S.
