# DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly - A DateTime::TimeZone object that just ... - perldoc - [phpMan]

## NAME
    [DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/DateTime%3A%3ATimeZone%3A%3AOffsetOnly/markdown) - A [DateTime::TimeZone](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/DateTime%3A%3ATimeZone/markdown) object that just contains an offset

## VERSION
    version 2.62

## SYNOPSIS
      my $offset_tz = [DateTime::TimeZone](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/DateTime%3A%3ATimeZone/markdown)->new( name => '-0300' );

## DESCRIPTION
    This class is used to provide the [DateTime::TimeZone](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/DateTime%3A%3ATimeZone/markdown) API needed by DateTime.pm, but with a fixed
    offset. An object in this class always returns the same offset as was given in its constructor,
    regardless of the date.

## USAGE
    This class has the same methods as a real time zone object, but the category() method returns
    undef.

  [DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/DateTime%3A%3ATimeZone%3A%3AOffsetOnly/markdown)->new ( offset => $offset )
    The value given to the offset parameter must be a string such as "+0300". Strings will be
    converted into numbers by the [DateTime::TimeZone::offset_as_seconds](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/DateTime%3A%3ATimeZone%3A%3Aoffsetasseconds/markdown)() function.

  $tz->offset_for_datetime( $datetime )
    No matter what date is given, the offset provided to the constructor is always used.

  $tz->name()
  $tz->short_name_for_datetime()
    Both of these methods return the offset in string form.
