Sorry, I left out a crucial piece of code :-)
It throws PeriodNotFound, even if I pass the dst flag to
local_to_utc. Viz-
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> gem 'tzinfo', "0.3.6"
=> true
irb(main):003:0> require 'tzinfo'
=> true
irb(main):004:0> tz = TZInfo::Timezone.get('America/Argentina/
Buenos_Aires')
=> #<TZInfo::DataTimezone: America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires>
irb(main):005:0> tz.local_to_utc(DateTime.new(2007,12,30,0,30,0), true)
TZInfo::PeriodNotFound: TZInfo::PeriodNotFound
from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/tzinfo-0.3.6/lib/tzinfo/

irb(main):006:0> tz.local_to_utc(DateTime.new(2007,12,30,0,30,0), false)

irb(main):007:0>
My understanding from the docs is that, if I pass the dst flag to
local_to_utc, it should never throw the exception. Am I
misunderstanding?
Best Regards,
Danny
