It's a bug.
You can workaround it by setting the time zone first to 'floating',
and then to 'Asia/Jerusalem':
------
sub show_day_start_and_end {
my ($day_index, $day_name, $day_of_month) = @_;
my $span_set =
DateTime::SpanSet
->from_sets(
start_set =>
DateTime::Event::Recurrence->weekly(
days => $day_index, hours => 8, minutes => 30,
),
end_set =>
DateTime::Event::Recurrence->weekly(
days => $day_index, hours => 15, minutes => 30,
),
)
->set_time_zone('floating')
->set_time_zone('Asia/Jerusalem');
my $date =
DateTime->new(
year => 2008,
month => 3,
day => $day_of_month,
hour => 12,
time_zone => 'Asia/Jerusalem'
);
my $span = $span_set->current($date)->span();
say "$day_name start: ", $span->start(), ' end: ', $span->end(), '
', $span->end->time_zone->name;
}
-----
Tests would be much welcome :)
