NAME

       Time::Timezone -- miscellaneous timezone manipulations routines

SYNOPSIS

               use Time::Timezone;
               print tz2zone();
               print tz2zone($ENV{'TZ'});
               print tz2zone($ENV{'TZ'}, time());
               print tz2zone($ENV{'TZ'}, undef, $isdst);
               $offset = tz_local_offset();
               $offset = tz_offset($TZ);

DESCRIPTION

       This is a collection of miscellaneous timezone manipulation routines.

       tz2zone() parses the TZ environment variable and returns a timezone string suitable for inclusion in
       date-like output.  It optionally takes a timezone string, a time, and a is-dst flag.

       tz_local_offset() determines the offset from GMT time in seconds.  It only does the calculation once.

       tz_offset() determines the offset from GMT in seconds of a specified timezone.

       tz_name() determines the name of the timezone based on its offset
