zones. I assume there aren't PST and CST zones because they
aren't actually in use, but if they are needed, maybe you could use
DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly?
Is there a reason the Olson etcetera file isn't included in DT::TZ?
Is this related to the above quesiton? The etcetera file doesn't define
any of those zones. They're all defined either as links or real zones in
northamerica.
The above are links in the file backward.
But etcetera includes non-DST zones Etc/GMT-14 through Etc/GMT+12,
which I thought might be useful if in fact someone does need pacific
or central time without DST.
