To Rick M: Can you give me a commit on DateTime::TimeZone::LMT please? To DateTime folks, especially Dave R, maintainer of DateTime::TimeZone:
DT::TZ::LMT is about creating, registering and using a time zone which not depend on international borders, DST or the nearest multiple of 15 degrees. It depends only on the longitude of the location. The weakest link (no pun intended) is the registration step. It consists in adding an entry to a %LINKS hashtable. The problem is that until version 0.79 (August 2008), this hashtable was declared in the DateTime::TimeZone package and since version 0.80 (September 2008) it is declared in DateTime::TimeZone::Catalog. But DT::TZ::LMT was not updated with the change of internals and the CPAN Testers matrix turned to red. As a comparison, with DateTime::Locale, there is a register() function to hide the internals. Is it possible to have a similar function in a future version of DateTime::TimeZone so we will be immune to changes of the internals? Meanwhile, I have updated DateTime::TimeZone::LMT to use the proper version of the internals, depending on the version of DateTime::TimeZone. I can release a working version as soon as I get a commit bit and a round tuit. Meanwhile, I can still polish the module (review and improve the POD documentation, for example). Thank you for your attention. Jean Forget
