"works on my machine" (I tried Centos + perl5.8.8, and OSX + perl5.12.1, both
with DateTime 0.66).
Perhaps you have a corrupt timezone file? At a minimum you should upgrade to
the latest version of DateTime.
perl -MData::Dumper -MDateTime -wle'my $dt = DateTime->now(time_zone =>
"America/Argentina/Salta"); $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth = 1; print Dumper($dt);'
$VAR1 = bless( {
'local_rd_secs' => 52307,
'local_rd_days' => 734191,
'rd_nanosecs' => 0,
'locale' => 'DateTime::Locale::en_US=HASH(0x1009e7aa0)',
'local_c' => 'HASH(0x1009e2b68)',
'utc_rd_secs' => 63107,
'formatter' => undef,
'tz' =>
'DateTime::TimeZone::America::Argentina::Salta=HASH(0x100a2f4d8)',
'utc_year' => 2012,
'utc_rd_days' => 734191,
'offset_modifier' => 0
}, 'DateTime' );
