No, DateTime objects returned don't have floating time zone (which would be
more OK), but UTC.
[dani...@irsay danielr]$ cat /tmp/try_tz.pl
#use lib qw(/tmp/);
use strict;
use DateTime::Format::Oracle;
my $dt = DateTime::Format::Oracle->parse_datetime('2009-11-03 12:23:33');
warn $dt->time_zone;
[dani...@irsay danielr]$ perl /tmp/try_tz.pl
DateTime::TimeZone::UTC=HASH(0x806aea4) at /tmp/try_tz.pl line 5.
Otherwise I agree with default time zone.
