Do they call the standard and summer times different things?
The current DT::TZ stuff and POSIX::strftime and date on Linux and
Solaris all say EST in January and July... I have also seen it given
as EAST and EADT (actually I just checked www.worldtimezone.com and it
gives AEST, AES, EAST and EST all as possible variations... bah!).
Iain, which state do you live in, and what is the short TZ name in
January and July? Also, how do you tell the times from Queensland
apart from those in Victoria during DST?
I wonder if Olsen has the wrong short names? The notes at the bottom
indicate that is possible.
