The problem is that DateTime wants something like America/New_York, not
Atlantic Standard Time, whichi isn't really the right timezone, most
likely. AST, which is probably the same as EST, is only valid for half of
the year on most of the US Atlantic coast.
So we don't want to know what the current offset is, instead we want to
know the geo-political time zone name.
local timezone
Hello!
I have a problem with DateTime::set_time_zone(local) call: it says that
cannot determine local timezone. Actually, this behavior appeared when I
upgraded DateTime modules (and relatves). After little investigation I found
that since v0.12 (that I used before) there was changed local timezone
determination algorithm and, the following lines are disappeared:
my @t = gmtime;
my $local = Time::Local::timelocal(@t);
my $gm= Time::Local::timegm(@t);
return
DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly-new
( offset = offset_as_string( $gm - $local ) );
What was the reason of cutting off that method? Yes, there are several new
methods of local timezone determination appeared, but all of them applicable
only under UNIX systems. Unfortunately, my script should work under Windows
and, therefore, I have lost a chance to determine local timezone. The only
way left under Windows is to use environment variable, but this method
scarcely applicable for me too: the script will be used by customer and I
can't guarantee that TZ variable always will be set properly. For the
moment, I used a hack - I added several strings to
DateTime::TimeZone::Local:
sub local_time_zone
{
my $tz;
foreach ( qw( _from_env _from_etc_localtime _from_etc_timezone
_from_etc_sysconfig_clock _old_plain) )
{
$tz = __PACKAGE__-$_();
return $tz if $tz;
}
die Cannot determine local time zone\n;
}
sub _old_plain
{
my @t = gmtime;
my $local = Time::Local::timelocal(@t);
my $gm= Time::Local::timegm(@t);
return
DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly-new
( offset = DateTime::TimeZone::offset_as_string( $gm - $local )
);
}
Could anybody suggest a more suitable way? Or, maybe, just add something
like I wrote above into DateTime::TimeZone::Local?
Best regards, Elliot.

Hello, I've failed reach Dave Rolsky (some problem with urth.org domain resolving), so I forwarding to mail list. Hope Dave reads it. Best regards, Elliot. --- Ilya A.

Here is a list: 1) Under Win32 'finite' function is called '_finite'. I know, it's Microsoft feature, but I suppose you can tune your makefile to avoid it :-). 2) I don't know if this is related to the same 'finite/_finite' function, but 4 test have failed on my machine.

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe' : return code '0x2' Stop. Hope you can say something about these problems. Best regards, Elliot. P.S.: Also, I've built your module third time and third time wonder why don't you assemble all DateTime-LeapSecond, DateTime-TimeZone and DateTime itself into one module? :-)
