Hi 1nickt,

I think the best of all in his case may be to add the time_zone param in the constructor as you say, but provide the value "local".

That's an excellent point!

Just to expand on that, it's also possible to say time_zone=>'America/New_York' - see the output of perl -MDateTime::TimeZone -le 'print for DateTime::TimeZone->all_names' .
