I'm having some trouble understanding a few parameters in the TZ database - everybody knows that. I'm a developer, in the field of astronomy and celestial mechanics. But I encountered a problem relative to the relation between Local and UTC time in one of my applications. So, I picked up TZ, and tried to analize the cities pm files ( the code must be adapted, so I need the raw data ).
I really think you're coming at this from the wrong direction. You should be looking at the Olson timezone database source files, which are more comprehensible than the generated Perl data structures in DT::TZ. There's also a mailing list for that database.
