Changes for version 0.91 - 2026-06-09
- Add Time::Str::TimeZone for resolving IANA Time Zone Database names (and the special name 'local') to cached Time::TZif objects via the exported timezone function. Lookups dispatch through an overridable provider and the cache is cleared with the reset method.
- Track the leap second table expiration in Time::LeapSecond. parse_leapseconds_tzdb and parse_leapseconds_iers now return (\@days, \@corrections, $expires), reading the TZDB #expires line and the IERS #@ line (converted from NTP to POSIX) and croaking if absent; the value is exposed as $Time::LeapSecond::EXPIRES.
- Accept POSIX quoted timezone designations (e.g. <+05>) in valid_posix_timezone in Time::Str::Util.
- Add find_local_timezone to Time::Str::Util for resolving the system's local timezone (via TZ or /etc/localtime) into a Time::TZif or Time::TZif::POSIX object.
