Not sure if this matters to you, but at least older versions of Windows (before Vista) did not store historical DST information (the "Olson" database). Instead it would apply the latest set of DST rules to all previous years as well, so the DST state for dates in the past may be incorrect. But even though historical data is now available in the OS, I would still double check if the C runtime library used by Perl makes use of it or not.
