NAME
       Time::Zone - miscellaneous timezone manipulations routines

VERSION
       version 2.35

SYNOPSIS
           use Time::Zone;
           print tz2zone();
           print tz2zone($ENV{'TZ'});
           print tz2zone($ENV{'TZ'}, time());
           my $isdst = 0;
           print tz2zone($ENV{'TZ'}, undef, $isdst);
           my $offset = tz_local_offset();
           my $TZ = "EST";
           $offset = tz_offset($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(1)-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
