That is not, in fact, a unique need.  I have it too, but I find that I
am having to live my life without satisfying the need. Hmmm..., maybe
it's just a "want".  The sad fact is that there is no source of
information (that I or anybody else on this list has been able to find)
that gives you what you want.  To know all of the cities, towns,
villages, hamlets and airports that are within a given time zone, you
will have to actually visit all of the cities, towns, villages, hamlets
and airports in the world, ask them what time zone they are in, and
compile a database from which you can later select only those cities,
towns, villages, hamlets and airports in the zone of interest.  Of
course, by the time you finish a small subset of that task, some of
those cities, towns villages, hamlets and airports will have changed
from one time zone to another, and they likely won't think to tell you
about it. To further complicate this, many countries and states are
divided among multiple time zones, and there is nothing (in principle)
to prevent even a postal code to be so divided if the folks who live
there choose to divide it.

If that sounds like I'm depressed... Call me "Eeyore".  I'm finding ways
to work around the issue. I hope you do to.
 
Then again, if you ever do find a solution to this problem, I hope
you'll remember to tell all of us here on this list.

Subject: Very unique need

Hi All,

I am enjoying DateTime::TimeZone as usual.  I have a unique need to be
able to somehow know all the countries, cities, and postal codes that
are in a certain TimeZone, can anyone recommend a way to do that?

-Tim
