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.
I'm not sure what you're thinking might be busted here. If we're doing the same as POSIX::mktime does, then it's doing it right.
When you add a day, you expect the wallclock to stay the same. "Tune in the same time tomorrow".
When you add 24 hours, you expect 24 *HOURS* to elapse -- no matter how many hours there are in a day.
