Subject: DateTime timezone for SuSE Linux 8.1
DateTime 0.1705 Perl 5.8.0 SuSE 8.1 As far as I can see from looking at the code the local time zone is obtained from looking at /etc/sysconfig/clock on this OS. On my system the file contains the line TIMEZONE="GMT0" rather than ZONE="GMT0" and this caused one of the tests for Astro::Sunrise to fail because it couldn't determine the local time zone. I think it is easy to fix by changing the line in sub _read_etc_sysconfig_clock in Local.pm to read next unless /ZONE=/; But I don't have the skill to determine if this a bug in DateTime or a misconfiguration in SuSE (although I used their sys config GUI to set everything up initially) I have changed Locla.pm as above on my system and rerun the tests for DateTime::TimeZone, DateTime, and Astro::Sunrise - all o.k.

Actually, it's better to use /^(?:TIME)ZONE=/ I'd rather be more restrictive and not pick up some other type of zone ;) Show quoted text

Every OS does this stuff differently. I just add support for them as people tell me how they work. I use Debian myself, and that's all I have to test on. Thanks, -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/

BTW, you stuck this in the wrong queue. It belongs in the DateTime::TimeZone queue. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
