am I missing something?
yea..missing the body..sheesh
my $dt = DateTime-new( year = 2007, hour = 9,
time_zone = Etc/GMT+5
);
The timezone 'Etc/GMT+5' in an invalid name.

I see all the Etc/GMT+X inside my /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/ so what's up?
Are the Etc/GMT+X the proper
Thanks Zefram,
Note the change of sign: for historical reasons the signs in
the Etc/GMT+X names are the opposite of the actual offset.
Wow. Yea, that caused me quite a headache. I didn't realize that. Spent
forever trying to figure out why GMT+5 kept subtracting hours.
but it doesn't

Or use DateTime::TimeZone::Alias [1]
(untested code follows)
use DateTime::TimeZone::Alias
for my $hr in (0 .. 12) {
DateTime::TimeZone::Alias-set(Etc/GMT+$hr, -${hr}:00);
DateTime::TimeZone::Alias-set(Etc/GMT-$hr, +${hr}:00);
}
# And don't forget the 15 minute offsets and the 30

- I made the same test count mistake as was in 1.14 again. This
release fixes the test count (again) when running on a system that

I've knocked together an implementation of SysV/POSIX
timezone specifications for DateTime. Code is at
http://www.fysh.org/~zefram/tmp/SystemV.pm. This is my first go at
implementing anything in the guts of DT, so experts here please check
that I'm using the interfaces correctly. I don't quite
