Hi,
I need to convert TIMEZONE GMT +/- offset to
canonical name that is for example US/Arizona format.
I need a perl module which takes input GMT-7 or
offset in seconds for the same and gives output
US/Arizona.
Thanks and regards,

G'day Reshma,
Unfortunately this is 100% impossible. There are many named zones that
share the same UTC offset and so you can't get any more detail from an
offset than the offset itself.
You *would* be able to loop over all the timezone in the database and
make a list of those with that offset on a particular date. (Remember
that offsets change through the year to account for DST as well)
Cheers!
