The new implementation of DT:TZ:Local has implementations for all platforms in a single unit. I don't like the fact that much code is compiled and translation tables are loaded to support systems that are not relevant to the current environment. I preferred the previous modular implementation. At $work I'm working with Perl in an embedded environment (ARM, 64 Mb of memory) where initial boot time is important and memory is a scarce resource. I'm not yet using DT/DT::TZ in the application but I may in the future and that waste of resources is not welcome. Olivier Mengué.
