If you want to store a conventional initialism, then the timezone you're
interested in is more than just an offset. DT:TZ:OffsetOnly is for
when you Only want the Offset. A more appropriate way to do what you
want would be a SysV-style timezone string "CST3". This represents
a timezone that consists of a fixed offset plus an abbreviation.
Try DateTime::TimeZone::SystemV->new("CST3").
