in reply to tzset and POSIX

I did what I think was the simplest thing to do: I submitted a bug report to Strawberry. And this morning I received an email
After v5.8.9 I don't believe the use of tzset should be required. Reference:https://perldoc.pl/perl589delta

The FAQs make not reference to tzset: https://perldoc.pl/perlfaq8#How-do-I-set-the-time-and-date? Context: https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=11112025

I'll supply a patch to SVG::TT::Graph::XY shortly to resolve this issue.

So, in a while the problem will be solved!

      Oh, right, there was a whole subthread about this issue already... BernieC: Please link to previous threads if they're related.

      Did I do something wrong? I just tried again and got the same error:
      t/02_basic.t ........... 1/85 POSIX::tzset not implemented on this architecture at blib/lib/SVG/TT/Graph/TimeSeries.pm line 582, <DATA> line 593. # Looks like your test exited with 255 just after 72.

        If all you did was try again, nothing has changed. My Pull Request has not been merged yet, no new releases have been made. If you want to run this now make the same edit I did. https://github.com/ranguard/svg-tt-graph/pull/31/files, note line 582. Perhaps a simple way to do this is to run look SVG::TT::Graph within a cpan session, this will download the latest release and drop you into a shell. Edit lib/SVG/TT/Graph/TimeSeries.pm as per the link above then run cpanm ..

        The author has merged the pull request and a new version of SVG::TT::Graph hit cpan 6 hours ago.

        One more PR merged, a mistake on my part, not the module author. Expected a new release.
