Hi Guys, I have a peculiar issue wrt datetime arithmetic involving DST boundary.
perl -MDateTime -le '$dt = DateTime->new(day => 4, month => 10, year => 2008, hour => 2, time_zone => "Australia/Melbourne"); print $dt->add(hours => 48)' gives different results compared to perl -MDateTime -le '$dt = DateTime->new(day => 4, month => 10, year => 2008, hour => 2, time_zone => "Australia/Melbourne"); print $dt->add(days => 2)' although the latter seems consistent with what POSIX::mktime does. The question I have is about the correctness of DST calculations and whether POSIX::mktime is busted. Note: 1. AEST DST switch happens on Oct 5 2008 at 0200 2. using POSIX::mktime, +24 hrs gives you 3am on Oct 5th 2008 but +25hrs gives you the same time as well. any help on clarifying this would be much appreciated. thanks cheers, Bharanee
