NAME

DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly - A DateTime::TimeZone object that just contains an offset

SYNOPSIS

  my $offset_tz = DateTime::TimeZone::OffsetOnly->new( offset => '-0300' );

DESCRIPTION

This class is used to provide the DateTime::TimeZone 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 short_name_for_datetime(), name(), and category() methods all return undef.

  • new ( offset => $offset )

    The value given to the offset parameter may be either a string, such as "+0300", or a number. Strings will be converted into numbers by the DateTime::TimeZone::offset_as_seconds function. Numbers are used as is.

  • offset_for_datetime( $datetime )

    No matter what date is given, the offset provided to the constructor is always used.
