Greetings,
I found a module package name problem in the 0.72 release of
DateTime::TimeZone
from CPAN. I think the problem will only effect VMS systems and it is
easily
remedied with this patch (please note that this mailer may wrap long lines
in odd places):
diff -ru DateTime-TimeZone-0.72.orig/lib/DateTime/TimeZone/Local/VMS.pm
DateTime-TimeZone-0.72/lib/DateTime/TimeZone/Local/VMS.pm

End of Patch.
Folks on the vmsperl list who may be interested in the module
may want to use ExtUtils::MakeMaker to build it instead of Module::Build.
In order to do that I recommend altering the Makefile.PL like so:
--- DateTime-TimeZone-0.72.orig/Makefile.PL 2007-12-31
14:34:13.000000000 -0500
+++ DateTime-TimeZone-0.72/Makefile.PL 2008-02-29 13:41:48.000000000
