Time-Str-0.87

Changes for version 0.87 - 2026-05-26

  • Add Time::TZif::POSIX module for algorithmic POSIX TZ string parsing (IEEE Std 1003.1 / RFC 8536 §3.3.1). Same API as Time::TZif. Supports Mm.w.d, Jn, and n rule forms, quoted designations, extended rule times, and cross-year transitions.
  • Add gmtime_modern to Time::Str::Time for converting Unix epoch to broken-down UTC time. Returns nine values like Perl's gmtime but with modern conventions (month 1-12, full year). PP and XS implementations with range validation.
  • Add nth_dow_in_month to Time::Str::Calendar for computing the nth occurrence of a weekday in a month. Supports forward (1–4) and backward (-1 to -4) ordinals with ISO weekday numbering.
  • Add find_tzdb_directory to Time::Str::Util for locating the system timezone database directory.
