--- Comment #2 from Petr Pisar <ppi...@redhat.com> ---
Fedora package was modified to use /etc/localtime via
DateTime::TimeZone::Tzfile because of bug #1135981.
The issue with DateTime::TimeZone from CPAN is it horribly dies (the "Cannot
determine local time zone" error) if time zone name is unknown but
/etc/localtime exists which is a valid configuration of a Linux system.
With Fedora's patch, instead of dying, it works in most of the cases. It only
cannot retrieve time zone name ("Can't locate object method "offset_as_string""
error) because system time zone files do not provide it.
From this point of view the Fedora's package is less broken than the CPAN's
version.
I can look if I can add the offset_as_string() method to
DateTime::TimeZone::Tzfile object in this case.
