No comments from anyone, and only two people have downloaded the code. I presume, then, that those who looked at the code were happy with it, and everyone else at least has no objection to the concept. I'm also now working on a tzfile(5) reader in DT::TZ form. I'll publish that shortly; it's operational but the code's just a bit rough at the moment. The motivation for these modules is that I think the DT::TZ ensemble ought to be able to do everything that libc does to interpret $TZ settings. It's a digression from the question of $TZ syntax. (Most of the stuff I work on is a digression from something.) -zefram
