Yes, there have been mine & Mark's solution. What do you need it for? Does the info need to stay extremely current? If not, you could just batch process the results and get a list of places & offsets rather than polluting your code employing some horrid hack in real time. Time::ZoneInfo will give you a list of the zone names and then any of the solutions so far could be used to create a tie'able file (DBM, CDB, etc). Make sense?
