So, I found some old that wrapped a set_time_zone in an eval.my $dt = DateTime->new( year => 2013, month => 3, day => 10, hour => 2, minute => 4, time_zone => 'floating', ); eval { $dt->set_time_zone( 'America/Los_Angeles' ); }; print "$dt " . $dt->time_zone . "\n"; The code was using the eval to check if the timezone set failed, and if it did went on to do something else with $dt (like set to UTC). But, it seems like even if it fails the time zone gets set. The above returns this invalid time: 2013-03-10T02:04:00 DateTime::TimeZone::America::Los_Angeles=HASH(0x7fc4c2aafc90) My question is should DateTime associate that timezone to $dt if the set_time_zone call actually throws an exception?
This is almost certainly a bug. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/
