SYNOPSIS
use Time::Timezone;
print tz2zone();
print tz2zone($ENV{'TZ'});
print tz2zone($ENV{'TZ'}, time());
print tz2zone($ENV{'TZ'}, undef, $isdst);
$offset = tz_local_offset();
$offset = tz_offset($TZ);
DESCRIPTION
This is a collection of miscellaneous timezone
manipulation routines.
tz2zone() parses the TZ environment variable and returns a
timezone string suitable for inclusion in the date
manpage-like output. It opionally takes a timezone
string, a time, and a is-dst flag.
tz_local_offset() determins the offset from GMT time in
seconds. It only does the calculation once.
tz_offset() determines the offset from GMT in seconds of a
specified timezone.
tz_name() determines the name of the timezone based on its
offset
