Install problems: Can't call method set_time_zone on an undefined value

for debugging? -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED]

should set_time_zone always return $dt?

set_time_zone returns undef if the new time zone is the same as the old. Is that by design? I got caught doing this: return $self-class_time-set_time_zone( $tz ); in the cases when $tz was not changing. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: DateTime::Format and time zones
