NAME

Date::Manip::TZ::$module - Support for the $zone time zone

SYNPOSIS

This module contains data from the Olsen database for the time zone. It is not intended to be used directly (other Date::Manip modules will load it as needed).

NAME

Date::Manip::Offset::$module - Support for the $offset offset

SYNPOSIS

This module contains data from the Olsen database for the offset. It is not intended to be used directly (other Date::Manip modules will load it as needed).

NAME

Date::Manip::Zones - Time zone information

DESCRIPTION

This module is automatically generated. It contains a complete list of time zones specified in the standard zoneinfo (or Olson) databases obtained from:

   ftp://$tzdata_src$tzdata_dir

All information is stored in variables, so this module provide no routines for dealing with time zone information. For routines related to time zones, see the documentation for the Date::Manip::TZ module.

TIME ZONES

A description for each time zone from the zoneinfo database is stored in a separate module. These modules will be loaded automatically as needed, and are documented here for the sake of completeness.

The modules are available as:

   Date::Manip::TZ::_MODULE_

where _MODULE_ is the name of the module for that specific time zone.

The following time zones are derived from the standard zoneinfo database:

"; my($zone,$mod) = ("TIME ZONE","MODULE NAME"); print $pod " "x5,$zone," "x(35-length($zone))," $mod\n"; print $pod " "x5,"-"x35," ","-"x11,"\n";

   foreach my $zone (sort keys %$module) {
      my($mod,$type) = @{ $$module{$zone} };
      next  if ($type ne "tzdata");

      print $pod " "x5,$zone," "x(35-length($zone)),"  $mod\n";
      $zone = lc($zone);
      print $out "  '$zone'" . " "x(25-length($zone)) . "=> '$mod',\n";
   }

   print $pod "
The following time zones are NOT derived from the standard zoneinfo
database. They are derived from other standard sources (including
RFC 822):

   print $pod " "x5,$zone," "x(35-length($zone)),"  $mod\n";

=head1 TIME ZONE NAMES, ALIASES, AND ABBREVIATIONS

Time zones may be referred to as their full name (e.g. America/New_York), but there are also a number of standard aliases and abbreviations that may be used.

Standard aliases are listed below. Additional aliases can be created, or existing aliases overridden using the new_alias method of the Date::Manip::TZ module.

The zoneinfo database provides several standard aliases, including:

   my ($alias,$zone) = ("ALTERNATE NAME","TIME ZONE");
   print $pod " "x5,$alias," "x(35-length($alias)),"  $zone\n";
   print $pod " "x5,"-"x35,"  ","-"x8,"\n\n";

   foreach $alias (sort keys %tzdalias) {
      $zone = $tzdalias{$alias};

      # Don't duplicate the 'zone => zone' or 'EST5EDT => zone' aliases
      next  if (exists $$module{$zone}   &&  $alias eq $zone);
      next  if (exists $$aliases{$zone}  &&  $$aliases{$zone}[1] ne "tzdata");
      next  if (exists $$alias2{$zone});

      print $pod " "x5,$alias," "x(35-length($alias)),"  $zone\n";
      $alias = lc($alias);
      $zone  = lc($zone);
      print $out "  '$alias'" . " "x(25-length($alias)) . "=> '$zone',\n";
   }

   # Do the EST5EDT style aliases

   print $pod "
There are a large number of possible time zone aliases of the form
EST5EDT. The main 4 used in the United States are CST6CDT, EST5EDT,
MST7MDT, and PST8PDT and these are specifically called for in RFC 822,
so there is no ambiguity there, but some aliases may possibly refer to
more than one time zone. In these instances, I have selected one of
them to be the default time zone to use (based on how recently it was
used, and for what period of time). In the list below, all possible
time zones are listed for each alias. The first time zone listed is the
one used by default. The default alias can be overridden as described
above.

   ($alias,$zone) = ("ALTERNATE NAME","TIME ZONE");
   print $pod " "x5,$alias," "x(35-length($alias)),"  $zone\n";
   print $pod " "x5,"-"x35,"  ","-"x8,"\n\n";

   foreach $alias (sort keys %$alias2) {
      my @zone = sort keys %{ $$alias2{$alias} };
      if ($#zone == 0) {
         $zone = $zone[0];

         print $pod " "x5,$alias," "x(35-length($alias)),"  $zone\n";

         $zone  = lc($zone);

      }
   }

There are also a number of standard aliases. Some of these are

Periodically, we need to be able to determine a time zone based on an
offset. In addition, the ISDST may be known, and a date/time may be
available. The following table shows what time zones are examined based
on the offset, and in what order. The first match is used. If the
ISDST time is not known, the standard zones will be tested followed by
the DST zones.

The default order can be overridden with the off_zones method in the Date::Manip::TZ module.

In the time zone definitions, abbreviations are used to specify the
current time (e.g. EST in the America/New_York time zone). In some
cases, the abbreviation appears in only a single time zone. In that
case, these abbreviations may be used to refer to that time zone.  The
abbreviations LMT and zzz which occur in the zoneinfo databases are
ignored (and when parsing a date including them, the local time zone
will be used).  Abbreviations include the following:

   my($abb,$zone) = ("ALIAS","TIME ZONE");

   print $pod "
Most abbreviations are used in multiple time zones. When a date is
parsed that contains one of these abbreviations, it will try to
interpret the date using each of the time zones in the order listed
below until one is found which yields a valid date.

The default order can be overridden using the abbrev method of the Date::Manip::TZ module.

The order given here is open to discussion (and possible change) for some unspecified period of time (possibly the first couple releases in the 6.xx cycle), but at some point, the order will become fixed. Please note that I will always place emphasis on a time zone that used the abbreviation more recently than another time zone. Within those constraints, I'm interested in putting the more commonly used time zone at a higher priority. Since I'm not always able to decide which is the most commonly used, I'm very willing to entertain arguments for altering the order.
