So, I found some old that wrapped a set_time_zone in an eval.
my $dt = DateTime->new(
year => 2013,
month => 3,
day => 10,
hour => 2,
minute => 4,
time_zone => 'floating',
);
eval { $dt->set_time_zone( 'America/Los_Angeles' ); };
print "$dt " . $dt->time_zone . "\n";
The code was using the eval to check if the timezone set failed, and if it
did went on to do something else with $dt (like set to UTC). But, it
seems like even if it fails the time zone gets set. The above returns this
invalid time:
2013-03-10T02:04:00
DateTime::TimeZone::America::Los_Angeles=HASH(0x7fc4c2aafc90)
My question is should DateTime associate that timezone to $dt if the
set_time_zone call actually throws an exception?
This is almost certainly a bug.
