I'm pretty sure you have to do that. For example, if you simply set

But in this one it

So there is a difference, on some platform(s), between inheriting the

Okay, thanks.

Can you do another test for me (since I don't have a platform that

Hi,
Thanks to Eugene for fixing up a new release of
DateTime::Calendar::Pataphysical - that works (for me, anyway).
I'm having consistent problems with DateTime::Format::DateManip v0.01,
on both Solaris 8 and MacOS X 10.2.6 with Perl 5.8.1.

I find that for most date and time handling I do, just setting $ENV{TZ}
does the trick --
