It is currently daylight savings time in the United States. However, when I run $dt->is_dst(); it returns "0" indicating that we are currently not in DST. i would expect this to return "1" Thanks! Jaryd

You haven't given me enough info to answer this question. How did you make this object? My psychic powers are on the fritz these days. However, if I had to guess, I'd say you did "DateTime->now", which returns an object in the UTC time zone. You need to write "DateTime->now( time_zone => 'local' )" if you want it in your local time zone.

Woops! Sorry about that Dave! Despite the minimal information I think you may have solved my issue... It looks like your psychic powers are functioning after all :) -- Jaryd Malbin jaryd@jaryd.org On Sun, Mar 9, 2014, at 12:24, Dave Rolsky via RT wrote: Show quoted text
