NAME
Date::Manip::TZdata -- Internal module for working with the tzdata files
SYNOPSIS
use Date::Manip::TZdata;
$tzd = new Date::Manip::TZdata($dir);
DESCRIPTION
This module is not intended for public use. It is used internally by the scripts used to
analyze the time zone database and generate the modules for each time zone. The module is
included in the distribution solely for the sake of completeness. Currently, no support is
offered for this module, and it can (and may) change without notice.
This module consists of routines for working with the tzdata files. These files are
updated several times a year and are the basis for time zone descriptions for most
computer systems.
ROUTINES
new
use Date::Manip::TZdata;
$tzd = new Date::Manip::TZdata($dir);
This finds and reads in all the tzdata. If $dir is passed in, it is the directory
where a tzdata directory is located. It defaults to the current directory.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS
Some assumptions and limitations are assumed in the logic of this module.
When a time change occurs, the time may change backwards or forwards. Time changes rules
are listed on a per-year basis. It is assumed that time changes will not occur so close
to the end or start of the year as to cross the year boundary (in other words, the year
will not change as a result of the time change). This is not accounted for, and it is
hoped that this situation will never occur.
Also, because this module is strictly limited to 4 digit positive years (regardless of
whether it is wall clock or universal time), and because various parts of the module
switch back and forth, valid times for this module are from Jan 2, 0001 to Dec 30, 9999.
This ensures that conversions from wall clock to universal or vice versa will never make
dates occur in the year 0000 or 10000.
KNOWN BUGS
None known.
