# NAME

Time::Zone -- miscellaneous timezone manipulations routines

# SYNOPSIS

            use Time::Zone;
            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 the date manpage-like output. It opionally takes a timezone string, a time, and a is-dst flag.

`tz_local_offset()` determins 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
